For the first time ever, the ASTC - USITT Venue Renovation Challenge will be presented live online, which has proven to be quite a new experience for the challenge — and the industry.

On this week's episode, we chatted with President and Senior Consultant for Jones - Phillips Associates, LLC and USITT Fellow Van Phillips; and Auerbach Pollock Friedlander Associate Principal, Howard Glickman. Both Glickman and Phillips are longtime members of USITT and ASTC and have played large roles in the ASTC-USITT Renovation Challenge over the years.

We discussed this year's renovation challenge and its intricacies, the importance of theatre consultant representation, and a few brand-new initiatives coming to the industry!

The 2021 ASTC-USITT Venue Renovation Challenge will be presented live online Friday, April 9, 2021 at 2 p.m. EDT. Tune in here to see the presentations and awards.
