What We Hear
CharlestownAV had a client who needed an ambitious design created, and NES came through with a fantastic solution. The team helped guide the designer's vision to match the reality of the available materials, and helped us avoid potential pitfalls of existing in a world governed by gravity. If it were not for NES, I'm sure my client would not have gotten the deliverable they wanted in our timeframe while staying under budget.
-Chris Thomas, Charlestown AV
I can’t say enough about New England Scenic. Their work work is top notch, and they are the best at working within budgets. Their problem solving and inventory allows for me as a designer to get the most bang for the buck. Their hands-on approach allows for the highest quality of scenic fabrication. I look forward to working with NES and know I’m in good hands with New England Scenic.
-Jon Savage, Set Designer
The Classical Theatre of Harlem has benefited from a long relationship with NES. The staff is always friendly and positive, bringing their experience and creative problem solving to keep productions on time and within budget. The unique challenges of producing outdoor theater in a park have been smoothed through collaborations with NES knowledgeable team.
