Touring experience, local crew.
Carnelian Dragon Production Services is a production services company based in Manchester, New Hampshire. We supply skilled crew and technicians across every department to stages throughout New England and the Northeast. We work with whatever equipment a job uses, and when gear is needed we help source it from vendors we trust.
People who know each department.
Our team includes stagehands, riggers, electricians, audio technicians, and automation operators. Many have worked on arena tours, ice shows, festival stages, and regional theater, and they bring that standard of work to every call.
We match the crew to the job, so a school musical gets people who are good with students and volunteers, and a concert load-in gets people who move fast.
What you can count on.
Safety first
We follow the manufacturer's procedures, use the right equipment for the load, and stop work when something isn't right.
On time, every call
Crews arrive ready to work at the scheduled time, with a lead who knows the plan.
Clear communication
Written quotes, a crew list before the call, hours reported after, and one invoice at the end.
