Every city is another load-in.

NYC FAB builds touring sets and live event scenery: risers, decks, backdrops, LED surrounds and set pieces designed to break down fast, ship in their own cases and go back together the same way in every venue.

Questions buyers ask

How is a touring set built differently?

Joints, connections and finishes are chosen to survive repeated assembly. Every piece is labelled, cased and sized for the truck and the loading door.

Do you build the road cases and carts?

Yes. Crates, carts and cases are built to fit each piece.
