THEATRICAL LIGHTING, RIGGING & CURTAINS
Stage lighting is an art form we’re proud to say we’ve mastered. Whether yours is a high school auditorium, college theater, public performing arts center or church stage, we love partnering with you through the collaborative design-build process to ensure you choose the ideal equipment for your unique facility.
At Port, we get it right the first time. Every time. That’s because our designers are also installers. Our team boasts the technical know-how and years of experience to advise specific, lasting elements and create show-stopping, fully customized, theatrical lighting systems with automated show controls, dimming systems, and stage curtains your crew can easily operate.
We install it all—everything down to movable and dead-hung pipe grids and theatrical rigging—and we’re beyond meticulous at every step, following any external design specifications to the letter. From tiny theaters to stadiums, our passion is making your performances shine.
