About Stage Right

For over 40 years of operation, Stage Right has become the top company in lighting for concerts, shows, corporate events, and weddings. From events in Washington DC to weddings in the Outer Banks to installations all across Hampton Roads, Stage Right has grown into a prominent live events company.

The department covers many types of construction, from woodworking to steel fabrication to waterjet machining to painting + powder coating.
