Book EMRG and you get a dedicated crew who own the build from first sketch to final strike. They draft the concept, fabricate the set, then load in the stage before your rehearsal starts.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does stage design and production include?
The set your audience sees. EMRG Media sketches the concept, builds the scenery, hangs the rigging, and installs the whole thing on load-in day. Your team runs the show. Our crew makes the stage look sharp.
How much does stage design cost in NYC?
Price follows materials, size, and crew. A single-panel backdrop costs a fraction of a full scenic arena build. EMRG quotes each stage on its own and shows you the whole budget before you sign.
Do you fabricate the set in-house?
Yes. Our shop builds custom flats, platforms, and scenic pieces, then finishes them to match your brand. We also supply the lighting and screens through our AV production crew, so one team owns the look.
Can you work from our creative team's designs?
Yes. We take your renders or brand deck and turn them into a buildable stage. Our drafters spec the structure, flag sightline issues early, then fabricate to the drawings you approved.
Do you install and strike the stage?
Yes. We load in, rig, and set the whole build before rehearsal, then strike and store it after the show. Our live event production crew runs the room while the set stays camera-ready throughout.
Do you build stages for brands as well as institutions?
Yes. We design sets for Fortune 500 brands, universities, banks, and media companies. Clients include Google, Bloomberg, Netflix, Barclays, and Condé Nast, so we scale from panel backdrop to arena build.
