Needs and Goals
Their goal was to create attention and deliver one of the greatest shows seen. They needed to impress everyone and deliver an experience which both the viewers and the press should love. Next to that, it had to create profits. How could this be achieved?
The theatre introduced a classic play written by famous play writer Arthur Miller known as ”All My Sons”. The play concerns a 1947 African American drama and true story in Ohio.
To deliver the perfect experience, the show needed to be setup with the right theme and stage design, including furniture, flooring, lighting and realistic looking plants.
Challenges
Having agreed to showcase their play, the theatre had a short time to plan and prepare the whole show. What had to be prevented at all times were delays.
Going through a number of different graphics and display providers, it was difficult to find a reputable organisation which could deliver all solutions withing 10 days.
One of the greatest challenges was to setup the full scene under a very tight budget. Keeping the costs minimal is a common approach, however, delivering a high quality experience requires another.
This is when they found us.
