ABOUT US

At Ovation Theatrical Projections, we believe in the power of original and visually captivating theatre. Like Stephen Sondheim said:

"Anything you do, let it come from you. Then it will be new. Give us more to see..."

-From Sunday in the Park with George

These words serve as our daily inspiration, guiding us to create stunning, professional scenic projections for your productions.

Everything we create at Ovation Theatrical Projections comes directly from our passion for theatre, with the goal of offering you and your audiences fresh, original visual experiences. Ovation Theatrical Projections provides high-quality, affordable projections designed to enhance the visual impact and overall aesthetic of your theatrical productions. We have a diverse library of pre-designed projection packages for popular titles which can be customized to perfectly align with your unique production requirements.

And what if you have a very specific artistic vision or are producing a title not in our library? Not to worry. Ask us about our custom design work!

THE DIGITAL ADVANTAGE

Here are many of the benefits to using projected scenery and effects

from Ovation Theatrical Projections.

Effortless

Set-Up

Forget rigging heavy, expensive drops. Simply mount your projector, connect your computer, and your digital set is instantly ready for the stage.

Maximize Your Space

Overcome venue limitations effortlessly. Digital backdrops are the perfect solution for stages with limited depth, no fly space, or the inability to construct or store physical sets.

Our packages come with easy-to-follow cue sheets, and our top tier packages include the pre-programming of QLab or ShowCueSystems on your behalf.

Ready-to-Run Content

Eliminate long blackouts and clunky scene changes. Digital transitions keep the story flowing and help significantly reduce your production's total runtime.

Faster Transitions

Theatrical Magic

Bring special effects to life with professionally designed animations. Projections make the impossible possible, like Ariel transforming into a mermaid or a quartet of children flying over London.

Immersive Motion

Create a living environment. Every package includes dynamic scene transitions, atmospheric weather, and special effects to keep the visual experience moving, something even the best physical backdrops and sets can't do.
