The American Society of Theatre Consultants supports ESTA’s (formerly PLASA’s) Technical Standards Program (TSP) with our members’ participation in the Standards Working Groups. Our Secretary and CFO Duane Wilson, ASTC and Board member Peter Scheu, ASTC each received the “2015 TSP Above and Beyond Award” for their service and support of the Stage Lift Working Group. We congratulate Duane and Peter for work well done and their continued support of the Stage Lift Working Group as voting members for the ASTC.

The ESTA Technical Standard Program was established in 1994 and is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited organization. Many theatrical technical standards have been published through the work of this program.
