The confetti is a Tuesday Problem™️.

I mean, we cleaned it up because leaving it outside would have been rude, but everything else we were supposed to do today is now a Tuesday Problem™️.

Go ahead. Be extra.

Product launches, fashion shows, grand entrances, and stage reveals deserve more than someone pulling back a curtain.

This archive demo pairs a double kabuki drop system with a fog curtain. A custom logo gobo was projected onto the kabuki silk, creating a branded moment without the expense of a custom printed drop.

The result is a layered reveal built for a big moment.

Yes, we know it’s August. No, we will not be waiting until October to talk about Halloween. 🎃

Halloween event rentals and special effects can book long before spooky season arrives. If you’re planning a Halloween party or event in Milwaukee or Southeastern Wisconsin, now is the time to start reserving fog effects, gobos, lighting, and specialty décor.

Swipe through five effects worth booking early. Which one would you choose? 👻

Did you know the ShotMax can handle more than confetti and streamers?

While its primary use is as a confetti launcher, the ShotMax can also be used as a dry snow machine, a way to spread low-lying fog, or to create timed air
blasts.

The documentation even mentions that anything soft that fits in the tube can be launched, like Nerf balls.
(We haven't had the time to test that one...yet.)

Need special effects equipment for an upcoming concert, theatrical production, corporate event, or party in Milwaukee? Reach out to ACME to learn about our rental options for the ShotMax and other production equipment.

This project started with a rigging inspection.

In January, ACME completed a rigging inspection for a Milwaukee school. The inspection found the spacing between pick points to be too wide, contributing to bowing in the nearly 40 foot pipe battens.

To correct the issue without replacing the entire rigging system, ACME recommended replacing the pipe battens with truss battens. Their trussed construction provides greater rigidity, allowing them to span wider distances between pick points with less deflection.

After reviewing the inspection findings, the school chose to move forward with the recommended repair.

A to Z Theatrical, ACME’s sister company, fabricated 19 new truss battens at its Kansas City shop. They will be installed at the school this fall.

A rigging inspection does not automatically lead to a project of this scale. Most recommended repairs are much smaller, and many can be completed by your performing arts center’s own staff.

A to Z Theatrical’s Kansas City and Wichita locations and ACME in Milwaukee each have in-house rigging inspection teams.

When was your rigging system last inspected? Reach out to A to Z or ACME to schedule an inspection.
