The sound design called for a flown line array, subs, electronica reinforcement, pit and stage monitors as well as wireless mics for the singers. Bill Mester and the StageTech team integrated the specifications of visiting designers between rental equipment and various venue audio and video systems. Composer Mason Bates’ “sound-world” for Steve Jobs included samples from actual Macintosh computers woven into the electronica framework with orchestra. The production was designed to be highly technical in order to tell the story of the most hi-tech icon of our time. StageTech appreciates the shared experience and accolades from both TPA staff and the Wooster Group.Īustin Opera, a longtime client, presented a new production and Grammy award winning music of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs at the Long Center. In all, 36 flown speakers and five video monitors were deployed flawlessly and trouble-free in less than the allocated set-up time. StageTech successfully achieved Wooster’s immersive soundscape using our Alcons LR7s and VR8s as the main speaker zones and twenty Meyer UPM-1 for delay, overhead, and surround speaker zones. Our crew deployed hardware/rigging, cabling, power distribution, passive and active speakers as well as the wireless microphone system, in-ear monitors and video monitors. In coordination with TPA staff, StageTech planned and prefabricated elements to fulfill Wooster’s signal flow. The actors performed to an on-stage audience immersed by multiple speaker zones.


The Wooster Group, a pioneer of experimental theater, presented The B-Side: “Negro Folklore from Texas State Prisons” A Record Album Interpretation at Texas Performing Arts/UT’s McCullough Theatre. StageTech worked through these challenges, focusing on the technical requirements for two innovative productions that showcased our ability to provide soundscapes that enhance theatrical storytelling. It’s been another live event roller coaster ride to start 2022.
