| SSS concept came from experiencing the need for a "home base" scenic studios for the hundreds of Puget Sounds theatres, museums and independent filmmakers, who had nowhere to construct their sets except garages, basements or on stage hours before a technical rehearsal was to begin.
Seattle Scenic Studios is comprised of seasoned theatre professionals with over 50 years of experience combined. Our passion is creating. If we aren't doing it here, we are creating elsewhere whether remodeling our own homes, designing/building our kids production at school, installing a deck for a friend or crafting gifts for the holidays.
We are non-profit to keep our costs low which enables us to roll that savings to you without compromising the design or production values.
What is it we do?
We are your scene shop. We build scenery and props in wood, steel and foam, we sculpt/carve, paint backdrops, rent props, rent scenery, we can do projections(slide or powerpoint/lcd projector), we can do oversized, full color printing (need a weather-proofed banner, sandwhich boards or large car magnet ad for your production?) We even have a small inventory of lighting and sound equipment to rent.If we don't have it, we find it. If we don't find it, we construct it. We love a challenge!
You, as the Producer, bring us your Design Elevations or sketches with dates of your production, loadin and strike, as well as a budget range. We will estimate how much the production/exhibit/film scene would cost to build from scratch- building, painting, transporting, installing, strike. (Click the PDF file below for a desired designer checklist)
If it doesn’t fit in your budget, collaboratively, with your Designer and Producer, we see what of our inventory can be intergrated into your concept. Maybe your 29-3/4” high platform becomes a more standard 24” high platform. Maybe you want to cut back in labor costs so your bank of volunteers may do all the painting required. Possibly your Board Member has a fleet of trucks and you want to save budget line item by transporting the set yourself.
