The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre in the AT&T Performing Arts Center, in Dallas, Texas, is a “vertical theatre” that has the back-of-house and front-of-house areas situated above and below several stories of performance space.

Serapid, Inc.’s Rigid Chain telescope actuators are part of a system that services the stage levels enabling scenery and seating to be lifted or lowered from storage facilities. Serapid asked Stage Technologies in Las Vegas, Nevada, to create a bespoke system for controlling the modular seating lifts that transport the seating up and down the “superfly” tower. Stage Technologies also provided development and modification of cutting-edge, wireless automation equipment - technology that allows a single operator to move the Serapid Lift Systems at pre-set speeds from anywhere in the building where the Stage Technologies wireless signal is available.

Stage Technologies Las Vegas installed an automation system in the museum’s 299-seat music theatre. This is part of the museum’s mission to heighten awareness of the diversity of musical instruments throughout history and the world.
