We have been in business for over 40 years and we strive at exceeding our client’s expectations by providing them with unsurpassed quality and creative structured solutions to help your company reach your ultimate potential. Upstaging has made a huge impact in both the lighting and trucking industry, but our capabilities far exceed these areas. From our event production, signage and graphics, and custom display and scenic, Upstaging is impacting companies around the world.
Upstaging’s success is measured by your company’s success and we work hard to exceed your expectations. Dave Maxwell, lighting designer and director for Eric Clapton has recently shared his delight with Upstaging, “we had heard so many good things about Upstaging. We now have done a number of projects and tours together and have not looked back.” Robb Jibson, LD for Weezer and Fall Out Boy recently praised Upstaging, “As a young designer, I’ve befriended a lot of concert LDs, like Butch Allen and Abigail Rosen Holmes. They all say Upstaging rules, and I agree.”
