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. Architects 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). The British equivalent organisation is the Society of Theatre Consultants (STC). There are also many Theatre Consultants that are not members of these organizations.

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.

Theatre Consultants may work directly for an facility or organization, or they mey be contracted as a specialty (sub)consultant for a Project Architect or Engineer. Services can range from programatic planning for the development of new facilities, planning for the refurbishment or repurposing of existing facilities, or just (re)design or assessment of specific production systems.
