Testimonials

Baseline Theatrical has a longstanding relationship with Withum and has built a rapport of understanding and respect over the years. The individuals on the theatre and entertainment team have consistently met our needs and exceeded all expectations. Withum has steadfastly supported our productions and personnel, most especially through the unprecedented COVID-19 shutdown during which their counsel was integral to our office’s ability to continue supporting and ultimately resume operations of our productions.
