Along with our new co-workers, you can rely on us to provide construction and rigging services, design and installation coordination, equipment rental, expendable supplies in many stocking locations, production services, repair and field service and systems integration, with a local presence for much of the USA.

We’ve been working hard to build a new infrastructure that will tie us all together, and we’re making wonderful progress.

We are now MainStage, LLC, and we will be your production advantage, providing lighting, rigging and staging solutions.
