A '''theatre consultant''' is a [[consultant]] who specializes in the design of facilities for the [[performing arts]], equipment for those facilities and the operation of [[theatre]].
Professional consultants provide unbiased, functionally sound, practical consulting and design services for performance and public assembly facilities of all kinds. [[Architect]]s and owners use their expertise to program, plan and help with the construction of these kinds of complicated buildings. Their [[professional organization]] in the [[United States]] is the [[American Society of Theatre Consultants]] (ASTC).
Consultants are generally expert in building codes and the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act as related to theatres, audtoria, and concert halls. They typically provide detailed design for special theatre systems such as performance lighting systems, stage rigging, orchestra pit lifts, moveable seating, acoustical canopies and more.
