Every event on this page was a real build with real stakes. No stock photos. No hypotheticals. This is what PM1 looks like on site, under pressure, doing the work.

Filter by what you need to see. Every tile is a real build, on a real site, with the kind of stakes that don't allow for second tries.

Stage, lights, sound, and every piece of infrastructure it takes to put a show on the ground. From Honolulu to wherever the tour lands next. Sometimes we bring the gear. Sometimes we bring the consoles. Always, we bring James Stuckmann, who's both one of our production managers and a member of the band.

The Westin Diplomat in Fort Lauderdale has a bridge pool. Water suspended over a second pool below, like an aqueduct. PM1 was asked to turn it into a trade show floor. The build: a custom pool cover blended cleanly into the existing bridge, surrounded by high-quality outdoor carpet, finished with a custom vinyl logo on the acrylic decks. The result was one continuous surface stretching from the venue's main doors all the way to the Atlantic. Yes, it took cranes to load in.

Technical direction for one of DC's most-watched foreign policy convenings. Audio, video, lighting, and structures across the main ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria. When a high-profile attendee requested a separate event mid-program, PM1 built a second environment in the adjacent ballroom on short notice. Now in our second year on the Forum.

Full production on the National Mall for a Dropkick Murphys headline performance. Mobile stage, audio, lighting, two LED video screens, and press risers. Built, run, and broken down inside the 72-hour window the National Park Service allows on the Mall. There is no second chance on a build like this. Either it's standing when the doors open, or it isn't.

When Producer Team ThirdEye needed a half-round proscenium thrust with custom steps and 45-degree angles on the upstage corners, they didn't go to a scenic shop. They came to PM1. Built at the Gaylord Resort in Orlando using PM1's standard staging inventory, the result delivered ninety percent of a true custom scenic build for a fraction of the cost. True production partnership, one custom stage at a time.

Duke wanted to transform football gameday at Wallace Wade Stadium into an experience worth showing up to. PM1 designed the answer: a custom two-tiered premium experience zone replacing stadium seating in a key endzone section. Bar tables, drink rails, couches, shade structures, food and beverage service, and integrated branded signage built into the structure itself. PM1 designed it, managed the install, and runs the operation across every home game. Returning for another season in fall 2026.

Custom staging in the Rocket Garden at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, built for global experiential agency Imagination and their client, Visa. Rigging support tied to historic rocket assets and integrated coordination with on-site pyrotechnics. The build held the moment Imagination set out to create. The credit belongs to Imagination and to Visa.

One of the only sanctioned street drag races in the country, run on the most famous automotive corridor in America. PM1 builds spectator seating structures along the strip for MotorTrend, transforming a closed section of Woodward Ave into a working drag race venue with fans close enough to feel it. Direct partnership with MotorTrend, year over year, in PM1's home city.

Full broadcast production for a NATO event at the Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC, the historic federal venue where the original North Atlantic Treaty was signed in 1949. PM1 built the main stage, press risers, and broadcast-grade audio and lighting for the program inside, plus architectural uplighting on the building's exterior. Working at Mellon means working under federal historic property restrictions: no penetrations, strict load limits, and zero room for error. PM1 has been invited back multiple times since.

PM1 has built the seating, judging platforms, and announcer stand for America's Thanksgiving Parade every year since 2018. Thousands of bleacher seats along the Woodward Avenue parade route, plus the structures the parade itself depends on. The build window is tight, and the strike is tighter. PM1 trucks roll behind the final float, and most of the route is cleared before Detroit businesses reopen on Monday. Eight years running, in PM1's home city, on Detroit's biggest day.

Custom tiered seating for Major League Pickleball at Wollman Rink in Central Park, built multiple times for the league's New York event. There is no on-site storage in Central Park. There is no daytime load-in. PM1 unloads at night, forks the gear down to the ice rink, sets the seating in place, and clears the trucks before the park reopens in the morning. The build window is one night, every time.

Multiple years of partnership with Varsity Spirit, the largest competitive cheer and dance organization in the country. PM1 builds tiered judges platforms, competition stages, and ADA ramps and lifts engineered to local building codes in almost every city on the calendar. What started as a handful of events is now more than fifty per year, sometimes with two cities running simultaneously. All three warehouses are utilized to keep the gear close to the biggest dates. The rest of the country, we get to.
Every build here ran on the same playbook, including the ones that hadn't been done before. Worth seeing how before you scope yours.

Wherever you are in the build, this is where the next call goes.
