Get the Venue Out of Its Way
The Dilemma:
Stage
the Metro Ballet on Thursday night. On Saturday
night, seat 850 VIPs for a
dinner Gala with a large, national music act
(with full production) for their entertainment.
Begin a week-long run of an off-Broadway play
on Monday night.
Use the same fabulous, historic theater for
all three events.
Don’t remove a single theater seat.
The Solution:
Save precious labor dollars. Save
wear & tear on richly upholstered theater
seats. Compress expensive production schedules.
All by utilizing Levitation’s special decking
system tailored to maximize each venue’s
unique nooks and crannies while spanning left-in-place-seats.
(Works over arena and stadium seating, too.) |

Worry-Free Banking
The Dilemma:
Convert an unfinished concrete
cavern of a convention center into a entertainment
theater for an audience of 3000 retail bankers.
In a day and a half.
The Solution:
Plan carefully. Rest easy
knowing that Levitation Crew Chiefs will set
new benchmarks
in time-and-motion efficiency (read: they’re
really fast and efficient) for installing custom seating and risers so you
won’t have to pull out too much of your hair. |

Beach Party Madness
The Dilemma:
Build a 60 ft. wide stage and concert
roof on 40 feet of sloping Lake Michigan beach
with no road access, and move production to the
site without damaging the equipment of the band.
The Solution:
Make the beach bigger. Grade the
beach. Grade it again. Grade it some more. Then
make the stage and roof smaller. Construct a
winding road through the woods out of staging
materials. Be extremely careful. |

Be Smart.
Our goal is simple. Deliver a stage to your
commencement with speed and accuracy even if
we have to pull an all-nighter. We’ve been
creating staging for commencement ceremonies
around the nation and the results have been
brilliant.
Year after year, Northwestern University graduates
some of the finest minds in the country. And
every year they call us to plan, deliver, set
up and
tear down their commencement staging. We think they're pretty smart. |

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling.
The Dilemma:
Create a venue for an all-out halftime
show at the center of a stadium field with just
a 3-minute televised commercial break.
The Solution:
Use Levitation’s rolling
stages to quickly move and assemble staging,
sets, and support structures for audio and lighting.
Take a deep breath.
Move really, really fast. |
|
No Trepidation.
The Dilemma:
Stage a concert featuring national
talent while at the same time providing the Commander
in Chief with a politically correct photo op
in New York City.
The Solution:
Simple. Put the band – and
the President – on a full-size concert
stage. Under a tower roof. On top of the dry-docked
aircraft carrier in New York Harbor. Hope the
President likes boats. |

Nice day for a White Wedding.
The Dilemma:
Turn a badly sloping, barren field,
a boat dock and a bridge into an all-white fantasy
world for a luxurious wedding.
In a driving rain storm.
The Solution:
Build a stage bridge over the
causeway. Construct a level dance floor covered
by a tent draped in white fabric over the barren
field. Paint
everything white. Watch the paint get washed away. Paint it again. Pray for
sun. |
