The Brook Casino Seabrook, NH
When a Vegas-based casino operator looked to do a re-model and relaunch of a local casino here in New Hampshire, Port Lighting got the call to create a high-impact visual experience for casino guests. This article from our partners at ADJ Fixtures shares the story of the transformation and features our own Ron Kuszmar providing more detail and context.
As part of an extensive remodeling and expansion project, the Brook Casino in Seabrook, New Hampshire has added a 300-seater showroom. This luxurious and versatile lounge theater will host regular headline concerts and tribute band performances as well as comedy shows, and therefore needed a versatile lighting system. This was designed and installed by local specialists PORT Lighting, who choose to utilize adj led-powered fixtures exclusively to deliver a high impact system that is both flexible and economical to run.
Formally known as the Seabrook Park, the casino in Seabrook was renamed The Brook in 2019 after the Nevada-based company Eureka Casino Resort purchased the 75-acre property. Since then, a multi-phase renovation and expansion project has been underway, including a complete remodeling of the 90,000-square-foot casino and the addition of a 20,000 square foot sportsbook, the largest in New England. The latest new addition, Seasons Showroom, is the venue’s first major foray into live entertainment and features lavish décor, comfortable couches and booths, high-top tables, a dedicated bar area and multiple VIP sections. It’s soft opening took place on September 1, with a Jason Aldean tribute and the space then hosted a sold-out show from Emmy award-winning actor and comedian Jeremy Piven. Since then, it has hosted multiple live music and comedy shows, with the next set for New Year’s Eve when an Aerosmith tribute will take to the stage.
Port Lighting couldn’t have been more ideally located to work on the lighting for the Seasons Showroom, as the company’s shop is less than five minutes away. However, the team’s involvement with the project actually began elsewhere, with curtains! The Vegas-based company responsible for the interior design of the space had specified luxurious red theatrical-style backdrop curtains for the rear of the stage from a company for whom Port Lighting is the local distributor. This began a conversation between the casino’s management and Ron Kuszmar, VP Architectural & Theatrical Lighting for Port Lighting, which led to the drawing up of a proposal for the venue’s entertainment lighting utilizing ADJ fixtures. This was ultimately accepted and installed ready for the soft launch event.
