Hello everyone!
This month we have an interesting column entry for you all.
As we mentioned last month, we have new Services available through The Design Layer & TLS Productions, Inc including Pre-Production Services (Engineering, Programming & Rehearsal) as well as new Education Services (Workshops, Classes & 1-on-1 Consultation/Training.
The last month has seen a massive push with the design and renovations of the Studio, our new Programming & Engineering space on the upper level of TLS Productions' Ann Arbor HQ.
We wanted to jump in and do things a bit different and frame the column to give you a FAQ and a digital walkthrough of the Studio and it's amenities.
Please contact Dustin Miller at info@thedesignlayer.net for all Service information and booking details.
