What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the binaural sound?
Will the audience members / patrons be using headphones, or are you
hoping to create a binaural illusion with speaker playback? Are you
interested in recording audio with a "dummy-head" binaural setup and
playing it back in order to create a binaural spatial image of the
original audio? Or is the plan to design sounds and spatialize them in
a binaural environment? Is there a sound artist on board with the
project already, or do you need to find someone to do 100% of the sound
work?

Sorry for the load of questions, but it's hard to tell if I (or others)
could be of assistance without more specifics...

Don't know if they do this type of work, but they could...

try and you will hear !!

even the relatively cheap soundman head-worn earpiece set is fantastic :

I managed to confuse several people by recording in a theatre they were
rehearsing in and then playing the tapes back on headphones from the seat I
was sitting in - even with eyes open, 70% looked to see where the sound of
footsteps crossed the stage : not bad for £250, and much better imaging than
putting up a stereo pair

Well, I certainly like the material they produced for sale/broadcast
under their own name, either in stereo or in binaural. (Some day I
really have to spend Too Much Money and pick up a whole pile of their
radio plays.)
