At Dallas Stage Scenery, our Design Department is the creative engine behind every transformative experience we produce. With decades of expertise since our founding in 1970, our team blends artistic vision with technical precision to bring bold ideas to life across a range of industries.

Whether crafting immersive theatrical scenery, producing high-impact corporate event environments, or developing dynamic branding activations, we specialize in ideation, visualization, and execution. From initial concept sketches to detailed CAD drawings and 3D models, we collaborate closely with clients to shape experiences that are as functional as they are visually compelling.

Our designers are fluent in the language of storytelling, space, and spectacle. With an in-house fabrication team just steps away, we ensure every design is grounded in real-world constructability—bridging creativity and craftsmanship with seamless efficiency.

CNC Work

Our Computer Numerical Control routers are 4’ x 8’ and 5’ x 10’ in size and are indispensable tools for the manufacture of components used in sets, props, signage, and exhibits. We also recently added a plasma cutter to slice and dice hard metal!

Light-emitting diode technology has expanded and matured. LEDs provide spectacular displays. Let us light up your next set, sign, exhibit, or trade show!

Custom Drops 

Our scenic backdrops, headers, legs, and scrims are traditionally painted by hand on muslin, canvas, or other fabric substrates, and include webbing, grommets, and ties at the top, hemmed edges, and pipe pockets at the bottom. Our artists transform design renderings into larger than life presentations for stage productions and events. Available in standard and custom sizes.

Faux Finishes

We make metal look like wood, magically convert wood into marble, styrofoam becomes stone, plastic transfigures to gems, drywall appears as concrete, and we often paint wood to look like different wood!… Paint alchemy is part of our skillset!
