Live has no second takes. When the curtain goes up, the fountain fires, or the broadcast goes live, the lighting either delivers the moment or it doesn't — and everyone in the room knows which. Lunar Telephone Company designs lighting for live shows, ceremonies, galas, and events where the stakes are real, the audience is right there, and "we'll fix it tomorrow" isn't on the menu.
Live Entertainment & Event Lighting Design
Producers get a partner, not a variable. You have enough moving parts. We show up with a plan, backups, and contingencies for the contingencies. Calmest people on headsets - it's a reputation we defend.
Camera-ready is standard equipment. Broadcast pageants, red-carpet parties, press-covered ceremonies - we design for the lens and the room at the same time, so the audience gasps and the footage holds up.
Eight shows a week? Try five a day. Park shows at Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, VinPearl, and Hersheypark have run relentless schedules in heat, humidity, and weather. We design for the four-hundredth performance, not just the first.
Have passport, will design. Our live work spans the United States, Asia, and the Middle East — from South Dakota to Shanghai, Detroit to Dubai, and floating on the world’s oceans and waterways. Jet lag is temporary; opening night is forever.
We're on the mission the whole way. Concept, documentation, load-in, programming, and the last cue of the last rehearsal. Same crew, start to finish. We don't design it and drift off into orbit.
What it's like to work with us
Our live entertainment and event work includes the Shanghai Corporate Pavilion at the EXPO 2010 opening; Vanity Fair parties for the Breakthrough Prize — the "Oscars of Science" — in Mountain View; live shows at Busch Gardens Williamsburg (Britmania, American Jukebox), SeaWorld San Antonio (Shamu Rocks!), and Hersheypark (Rock the Jukebox, TAP: The Show); VinPearl in Vietnam; the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville; and the broadcast Mrs. International Pageant.
