United Theatrical Services, Inc. provides initial and ongoing theatrical rigging inspections with detailed written reports for building owners, facility managers, production managers, and technical directors. We offer stage rigging and stage machinery maintenance and repair, along with practical personnel training for venue owners and managers covering stage and hoist rigging, acoustic banner systems, control system operation, and the safe operation and maintenance of stage equipment.

UTS also provides post-warranty support for equipment from major manufacturers of theatrical rigging, stage hoist machinery, orchestra lifts, and revolving stages. Our experience spans systems installed in the early 1900s through modern installations, allowing us to support both legacy and contemporary stage equipment.

Who we work for

We primarily work with venue owners, facility managers, production managers, and technical staff at theaters, performing arts centers, TV studios, schools, houses of worship, and multi-use or corporate venues that rely on permanent rigging and stage systems.

Where we work

United Theatrical Services is based in New York, with offices and shop facilities located in the region. We work extensively throughout NYC and the Northeast, with regular travel to major and secondary markets across the United States in support of theatrical and live performance venues.
