About us
Charcoalblue was established in the heart of the UK theatre industry in 2004. Since then, we have carved out a reputation as the world's leading integrated Theatre, Acoustic and Experience Consultancy service. We now operate as a cohesive and collaborative team across six international studios in the UK, USA and Australia, delivering projects to every corner of the globe.
Our people
We’re a collective of designers, strategists, musicians, acousticians, developers, creatives and technologists. We all share a love of performance, a belief the show must go on, and a desire to do great work.

Our history
Charcoalblue was founded from a desire to do things differently, to challenge norms and build a new approach to collaborative relationships. Common ownership, equity, diversity and a shared vision for the future were critical ideas for our foundation.

Social responsibility
