Every performance space is a special place. Whether it’s actors, musicians, dancers, comedians or some other live performers that take to its stage, a successful theater has to be a highly specialized and incredibly versatile space. To accomplish the full range of potential applications, innovative and originally designed AVL for theaters is a must.
At Illuminated Integration, we work with theaters to create AVL systems that will impress your audience and give them an event to remember. Our theater consultants have experience working with performance venues of all sizes and will provide you with a custom theater space design that includes:

How each theater can best create its own unique atmosphere is something our team at Illuminated Integration — experienced in design-build AVL solutions — knows a good deal about. Here are some insights as they apply to AVL design and its ability to help generate a truly immersive performance venue.
Unfortunately, in an attempt to cut corners, some theaters go with generic, recycled AVL designs. Yet all too often, the results of using these one-size-fits-all solutions are noticeably underwhelming levels of performance. The main reason for this is that these off-the-shelf AVL systems aren’t made to fit a specific theater’s needs. Instead, they’re prepackaged to provide some level of coverage to as many theaters as possible. A generic AVL system is a significant risk that can leave a theater’s stakeholders feeling frustrated and disappointed with the ROI on their investment.
Many of our team members got their start in theater and live performance, so we bring unmatched expertise to AVL design for performance venues.
Towson University hired us to replace their house and stage lighting system in the Kaplan Theater. We worked on updating the system while preserving the theater’s original style. We swapped out incandescent recessed fixtures for energy-efficient LED fixtures and replaced the pendant lights over the stage with color-changing LEDs. The new LEDs mimicked the look of the pendants while providing more illumination and reduced energy use.
We also upgraded the theater’s aging curtains and enhanced the tech booths with push-button controls and a touch screen.
At Illuminated Integration, we’re skilled at taking on the most challenging jobs that other AVL designers simply won’t touch. Thanks to our passion for getting involved from the design phase all the way through installation, launching and beyond, we don’t sign off on an AVL project until you’re fully satisfied with the results. We’ve brought turnkey AVL solutions to all size performance spaces. It’s our passion to first listen to your needs and then produce original designs that uniquely match your venue’s character and requirements.

One important aspect of any AVL installation where Illuminated Integration’s design-build philosophy really pays off is lighting design for theaters. Instead of providing recycled solutions, we involve our lighting experts at every step of the outfitting of a theater’s lighting equipment. The results fully support the dimensions, moods and movements a quality stage lighting system consistently brings to life. From traditional theatrical performances to an avant-garde musical group’s riveting show, you give audiences incredible and memorable evenings by incorporating stage lighting best practices into a custom-designed, expertly installed system.
Interestingly, acoustic design for theaters has been going on since the design of the first amphitheater in ancient Greece. Clearly, the human ear is a fine instrument of perception that can immediately distinguish between an acoustically good venue and one that doesn’t live up to expectations.
Sound equipment and the technology that goes with it are constantly advancing. That’s why every theater can benefit from the ability to work with AVL designers who are up to date on the latest sound equipment breakthroughs and architectural features that influence acoustics. This helps ensure everyone in the house can hear performances equally well, regardless of their seat. You can even make better decisions regarding matters like choosing the perfect wireless microphone when you can count on the advice of an AVL professional who’s vendor agnostic and has the best interest of your performance space in mind.
