Since 1980, Gala Systems, a stage equipment company, is creating compact and versatile theatre
stage lifting devices. We specialize in orchestra lifts, theatre stage lifts, scenery lifts and piano lifts for
theatres, auditoriums, concert halls, casinos and multipurpose venues. In addition, our products include
seating risers, table lifts for multi-purpose configurations and self-guided stage risers or orchestra
podiums and chorus risers for concert stages. Gala lifts are often used to renovate existing theatres
that have no current orchestra pit lift or have an old lift that no longer functions. We have replaced
numerous hydraulic, screw jack and chain lifts. GALA’s products and services have a proven quality that spans our nearly
40 years of experience using the Spiralift with more than 2,000 projects completed in 65 countries and all over the
United States. http://www.galasystems.com/en/
Theatres hold a special place in the hearts of many people. They are places of magic and invention;
places where anything can - and just might - happen. These old buildings are a bridge between the
past and present, connecting us to the people who occupied them decades ago. And if you do it
right, restoration can inject life and revenue back into the community. With thoughtful upgrades,
historic theatres can compete with today’s newer high-tech performance spaces. Restoration expands
technical capabilities, which in turn, allows you to support programming that meets the expectations
of today’s audiences, thus reinvigorating streams of revenue typically associated with entertainment arts venues.
IA Stage can help you determine the best plan of action to make your space relevant again. Give us a call.
