In 2007 Scharff Weisberg merged with Video Applications to form WorldStage, perhaps the most diverse company in the entertainment technology field; not only in terms of the services we provide but also in the markets we serve.

The basic definition is: WorldStage provides Audio, Video and Lighting technologies to the corporate, artistic and theatrical communities.

The more detailed answer is that we offer the most experienced and conscientious staff in the business and all the tools they require to provide clients outstanding service. Add to that a full service lighting division that is the market leader in quality of service. And, finally, a design and research division that specializes in designing the systems and configurations that are the most cost-effective and innovative around.

This combination of technology and experience is utilized by producers, designers, artists as well as other perfectly normal folk, to help realize their vision whether it exists on a screen, stage, fashion runway or high-school auditorium. Our services might be found at 20,000 attendee developers conference, a Fortune 500 product announcement, a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, a wildly inventive media piece by a soon-to-be-famous artist or an extravagant benefit gala attended by stars of screen and stage. The common thread behind all of this diversity is a dedication to customer service that is manifest in everything we do.
