FIRM HISTORY & VALUES

Founded in 2003, Integrated Theater Systems is a small, woman-owned, multi-disciplinary firm offering professional services in architectural and theatrical lighting, performance rigging, and audio-visual systems design, integration, installation, training, inspection, and programming.

Our work spans phased restoration and renovation of historic theaters, performing arts centers, broadcast and recording facilities, hotels and convention centers, K-12 and higher education clients, places of worship, major sports and entertainment venues, and municipal projects, bridges, water features, and public art projects.

Our firm’s principals and project leads are solidly anchored in their respective areas, each possessing more than 20 years’ experience in the field.  

Our work embodies the following key principles:

• Every project is an exciting collaboration among the client, end-users, stakeholders, neighbors, and the designers, consultants, engineers, and builders.
• Every project should be planned and designed from the inside-out, first assuring that it meets fully the client’s functionality and operational requirements.
• Every project should begin with a forward-thinking, master planning approach; our recommendations should be mindful of the capital budget as well as the operating budget and overall sustainability of the organization.
• Our designs must be user-friendly, enduring, and developed pragmatically, welcoming immediately and graciously all who enter.
• Our projects must be able to stand alone as well-conceived, well-designed, and well-built, without lengthy explanation or statement.
