Linear Accents, or as we've been calling them, "blinds" provide a nice accent to a modern set design. Horizontal, diagonal, or even a chevron pattern will certainly direct all eyes to the stage!

We are always proud to support those that voluntarily put their lives on the line for our nation's safety and security. In December, we helped produce a Freedom Salute, a Welcome Home Ceremony, and a Yellow Ribbon Event at the
William A. O'Neill Armory in Hartford for the CT National Guard. Each event, while different in n
ature, celebrated the bravery and selflessness of our patriots. While we are grateful to be helpful in the event production, we are more grateful for each soldier's commitment to keeping us safe. Thank you!
