We build sets and scenery for theatre, ballet and opera - engineered to load in fast, take the wear of a run and travel city to city. Concept to strike, in-house, with the engineering to back it. For thirty years the theatre has been our home, and the work continues, now with the national resources of Theatre Safe Australia behind it.
Credits include Wicked, Jersey Boys, Come From Away, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, School of Rock and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - and a long association building for the Australian Ballet and the Victorian Opera.
From Sleeping Beauty and Spartacus to Sweeney Todd, our scenery has to load in fast, take the wear of a run and travel. We engineer it to do exactly that.
Start a project →Design, engineering, fabrication and scenic finishing under one roof in Preston - so the set that leaves the floor is the one that was drawn.
We take a concept and make it buildable - structural engineering, drawings and the paperwork a venue and a tour need.
Timber, steel and composite, made by hand at the bench. Built to load cert and built to last a season on the road.
Paint, texture and surface from our scenic art team, so the set reads right from the back row.
Packed for transport, delivered to the dock, and engineered to bump in and bump out city to city.
