A contemporary musical that follows the life of a city planner rebuilding and restarting her life in New York City, If/Then enjoyed a successful run on Broadway and has now embarked on its inaugural tour starring Tony-Award winner Idina Menzel.

Opened in 2007, The Mount Olive Performing Arts Center is Morris County, New Jersey’s newest premiere destination for live theater, dance, music and comedy. The 1400+ seat venue has featured a variety of acts including Jim Breuer, The Glen Miller Orchestra, Robert Klein, The Dallas Brass and Glen Burtnik with Bob Burger.
The head of the Board of Education for Mount Olive Township contacted us summer of 2014. The high school in Mt. Olive has a performing arts center that is used not only by the high school, but occasionally puts on public events for the township. The district wanted to enhance the large stage at the facility, but needed something lightweight, yet large to enhance visuals.
They ended up installing a 39.4′ x 23.61′ 25mm LED wall.
The University of Iowa Theatre Arts Department is one of the oldest and most respected theatre programs in the country. We offer students the opportunity to earn an undergraduate BA degree, or an MFA degree with an emphasis in acting, directing, design, playwriting, dramaturgy, or stage management.
New work and collaboration are the hallmarks of our department. For more than 90 years we have supported the development of new plays by students, faculty, and distinguished guests. We recognize that every play, whether new or old, is brought to life through the complex collaborative effort of a writer, director, dramaturg, designers, actors, stage managers, and technicians. In order to support this process, we seek to create an atmosphere of passion for the art and generosity of spirit.
The University of Iowa was looking for a portable LED solution they could use throughout multiple campus theaters, and this is where the FLEXCurtain came into play. They went with a larger 30mm wall, rather then a higher resolution option. This allowed them much more LED for their money, as well as a lightweight option they could hang off theater batons across campus.
This project was a unique request for the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
They were looking to create a singing Christmas tree, which are very common, but taking theirs to a new level by adding LED. Our LED curtains were the only product that fit the bill due to there extreme flexibility, and lightweight characteristics allowing for this event to happen not only successfully, but safely!
