success. Today, as a part of a growing trend of urban renewal, many theaters are finding new
life as performing arts centers†. As a premier provider of stage renovation services, IA Stage is
highly experienced with contracting, design, fabrication, and installation. Principal products
include show action equipment and controls, stage rigging, variable acoustic treatments, sound attenuation
