By 1978, the company had begun touring. Reed remained on the road as lighting designer and director until 1990, when he decided to stop touring and stay home to run the business. Although live entertainment an important part of Stage Tech, Inc., Reed’s decision to expand into a different market segments (Corporate Theatre, Tradeshows, and Special Events) led to major growth in the following years.
Reed’s goal was to bring the creativity that he had used for live entertainment into the corporate environment. This enabled the corporate client to increase the imagination and excitement in their conventions and meetings. Due to market demand for a full service production house, in 1996 Reed invested in the company’s first audio system and now offers a full package of lighting, audio, staging, rigging, and outdoor roofs to his customers.
