Scenic Builds for Theatre, Festivals, Concerts, and Corporate Events
AVN’s scenic carpenters work across every kind of live event production in Atlanta, GA.
Theatre Set Construction
A theatre run has the most concentrated scenic carpentry duties. The carpenter assembles every piece in the scene shop from the designer’s drawings, transports it to the theatre, installs it on stage, and repairs it across the run. A multi-month theatre run demands scenery that holds up across repeated performances. The carpenters return to the venue between shows to repair wear and damage.
Festival and Concert Stage Scenic
Festival and concert stages have scenic constructions behind the main act, on secondary stages, in artist activation areas, and across branded venue spaces. The carpenter handles branded backdrops, custom stage elements, riser scenic, and any other built feature the tour design or festival call demands. Touring scenic gets built once, transported between cities, installed at every venue, repaired between shows, and packed for the next stop.
Corporate Event Branded Builds
Corporate events from conferences to product launches commission branded scenic pieces, including stage backdrops, podium structures, custom-built features, exhibit displays, and branded environmental pieces. The branded scenic elements displayed across the corporate venue carry the brand message, and the build has to look right under stage lighting and on camera.
The Scene Shop and the Stage
The scene shop is where the construction happens. Plywood gets cut, set pieces assembled, and paint applied, and the wood and materials come together as the designer’s vision. The stage is where the construction goes live. The crew transports the constructed pieces from the shop to the venue, rigs and installs every element, and then handles the running of the build through the show. The crew verifies the installation meets safety standards before doors. AVN’s scenic crew is responsible for the build from the shop to the stage. AVN delivers the security of safely rigged scenic builds across every project. Between performances, the crew returns to repair worn scenic pieces for the next call.
