Theatre & musicals
Eight shows a week is the real test
Theatre technology has a merciless requirement: repetition. The same cues, perfectly, eight times a week for a season. Add moving scenery, radio mics on every principal and a video design woven into the scenography – and reliability becomes the whole game.
Profox delivers technical production for theatre and musicals: design collaboration, installation, programming and the systems that make show 200 identical to opening night.

- Production light rigs and console programming
- Sound design support, radio mic systems and orchestra reinforcement
- Video and projection integrated with the scenography
- Stage automation and scenery movement with safety systems
- Show control tying every department to one cue stack
- Season service so the production stays sharp through the run
Frequently asked questions
Can you work within an existing theatre’s installations?
Yes – we extend and integrate rather than replace. House systems carry what they can; production equipment covers the rest, and both run from one control position.
How do you handle radio mics for a large cast?
Frequency coordination, redundant receivers and a swap plan rehearsed with the dressers. Twenty-plus channels of wireless is routine when it is planned – and chaos when it is not.
What happens when something fails during a performance?
Critical chains have hot backups, and the crew has rehearsed failure procedures. The audience should never know – and with proper design, they do not.
