Since our founding in 2006, Studio T+L’s focus has been on providing outstanding theatre
consulting to our clients and collaborators. From the first idea for an historic theatre renovation
to the opening night gala, we collaborate with our clients to design spaces that meet their artistic
and operational goals.
As theatre professionals ourselves, we know that the spaces we design are vital tools to the
artists using them. We bring over a century of collective production, design and management
experience to designing performing arts facilities that support the work of our theatre
colleagues. We listen carefully to understand each client’s production and artistic needs. We
explain those needs to the rest of the design team to realize a project’s goals through creative,
appropriate, and cost-conscious solutions.
Our renovation and remodeling experience includes buildings up to 150 years old, and ranges from theatre system
updates to complete interior renovations. We’re sensitive to the balance between maintaining historic buildings and the
need to modernize elements such as production systems and egress paths.
The early part of our work often involves the theatre's spatial organization. We spend a great deal of time working on the
size and shape of spaces, and their adjacencies within the confines of the existing building. We start with the stage and
house by looking at the performer/audience relationship and work outward.
As a project progresses and we understand the types of productions and the needs of the users, we turn our attention
to the systems that support those productions. We design, draw, and specify the systems, and provide the architect and
engineers with information they need to integrate our work into the building.
