Stage Services at PLU is a department designed to provide staging, rigging and lighting services for campus events. The mission of this department is to consult and provide staging services that will enhance any type of program in order to achieve maximum success. We assure high quality systems as well as professional consultation in the areas of technical direction, lighting and scenic design. If you have questions regarding your event and how Stage Services may assist you in your needs, please call Conferences & Events for more information.
Lighting Systems
Eastvold, Olson, and Lagerquist Concert Hall have in-house lighting systems to provide basic white lighting which covers the main stage area. These systems are included in the rental of the facility. For specialized lighting or portable systems for other venues, additional costs may be incurred. Several portable lighting systems with additional lighting effects are available for use upon request and consultation. Please contact Conferences& Events for quotations.
Staging Systems
Each of the main auditoriums (Eastvold, Olson, and Lagerquist Concert Hall) have in-house staging systems. Stage Services has a variety of portable staging to complement the fixed stages in each of our main auditoriums. Portable staging can be designed in many configurations and heights. Some samples of portable stages are listed below:
3' x 3' Indoor folding wood riser |
4' x 8' Indoor/Outdoor variable terrain riser |
4' x 6' Indoor folding leg riser |
3 step Choir Risers |
3' x 8' Indoor folding leg riser |
0" to 36" switch back ramp, 36" wide |
All staging is pro-rated in accordance with the specific use and size.
Rigging Systems
Stage Services has the capability of executing a variety of rigging needs such as flying banners, scenery and special effects (balloon or confetti drops). Our professional staff has extensive training in all forms of rigging to assure maximum safety and enjoyment for your program. Since rigging is highly specialized and requires advance preparation and planning, all costs are negotiated at the time of consultation.
Special Effects
Stage Services provides a variety of special effects that will spice up any performance. We provide many standard effects as well as effects designed and built for your specific need. All design/built effects are priced by quotation only.
Technician Labor
Each performance in the auditoriums requires a minimum of two stage technicians during the setup, run and strike of the performance. Other technical staff may be required as needs are assessed. Some of the above equipment will include applicable setup costs using stage technicians. Stage technician labor rate is assessed per hour, per staff person, for all regular programs.
