Last week our team at Stages Plus had the opportunity to build a stage for a dance competition near Disney. Not only did we build a 36×56 stage, but we provided our client with skirting, guard rails, stairs, pipe and drape, trussing, marley, lighting, and video! We began our night, or morning you could say, at 1:30 am. We loaded in our decks and got to installing.
Once we finished setting up the stage decks we began rolling out the reversible black marley to give the dance stage a matte finish. Marley is widely used across the staging industry, especially for stages that dancers will be on because it is slip-resistant and highly durable.
After that, we set up trussing, guard rails, stairs, pipes and drapes and skirting. Our trussing was used to hold stage banners for the event. We closed off the stage with guard rails and added stairs for the performers. Pipe and drape and skirting were put up around the stage to finish it off. We had an awesome time setting up this structure for our client!
Here are some more pictures from our set up!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of working with a local community arts organization to help them prepare for their Symphonic Broadway event. When we first arrived at the theater, we began to build on an already existing stage they had. Their organization has grown so much over the past couple years that we needed to add extensions to their stage. We were able to add custom stage extensions to expand their stage size and allow the performers to have more space. We also provided this organization with stage risers, also known as audience risers, for their orchestra (as you can see in the picture of the musicians at different levels). Of course, when you have a stage you need stairs so we added stairs on both sides of the stage with guard rails for extra safety.
ictured on the right is a 3-D model of the stage we set up. We can provide these 3-D models for any type of set up we do. It allows our team and customers to see what they’re getting ahead of time. In the picture, you can see the stage shape, tiered risers, conductor riser and stairs with guard rails we provided for this customer.
