Stage Electrics Covers UK

Straight out of Edinburgh, into the West End and on tour around the UK, August and September are proving busy months for Stage Electrics. Nine 45ft trailers were on the road heading for the Edinburgh Fringe in early August, providing lighting and power distribution to over 33 of the venues, including the Assembly Theatre, Komedia @ Southside and venues for Guilded Balloon. In fact, the company is the largest technical supplier to this annual three-week event. The company has also provided Martin Professional MACs, generic lanterns and control to the Fame transfer from Victoria Palace to the Cambridge Theatre in the West End, as well as generic lanterns and a Wholehog II to the Shaftesbury Theatre for Peggy Sue Got Married. SE’s special projects department installed and commissioned a four-axis automated flying system for Peggy Sue Got Married which opened on 20 August. The system drives the four components of the down stage iris ensuring that all movement cues are synchronised. Stage Electrics only received the order to commence the work a week before beginning installation work at the Shaftesbury Theatre, giving an extremely tight deadline to this custom automation project.

The company is also providing MACs, generic lanterns, Strand control, Avolites Art 2000 dimmers and five DHA 9-lamp Digital Light curtains for Dr Doolittle’s second year of UK touring, in addition to 40 Wybrom Colour Ram 4" scrollers and 16 x 17.1/2 scrollers for the Manchester opening of Chicago in September.
