Peace Jubilee - Load-in Day 2

Up with the stage!!! Today we installed the stage on the grounds of the Old Manassas Courthouse.  This was a 20x24 foot tiered stage on the corner of the building facing Grant Ave... The stage went up with no problems in about 4 hours.  Several people stopped by to take photos of the flags on the building, most commenting "that is the biggest flag I have ever seen!!!".

Some of the other highlights of the day was a visit from the fire marshal, and a call to 911.  The fire marshal's visit was informative and the call to 911 was for a 3 vehicle accident at the intersection of Grant Ave and Church St., one block away.  No one was seriously hurt... The incident was loud enough to get our attention so we ran to investigate and called for help...

Peace Jubilee - Load-in Day One

Well today was the first load-in day for the Peace Jubilee in the City of Manassas.  We have spread the load-in across a couple of days so that as much time can be spent as need on each task.  So today was flag day... The design concept for the show was simple, make it look as close to the historic photos as possible.  Simple right?  So we purchased a 60'x30' and a 20'x30' American Flag, Simple?  Got a Bucket truck, Simple?  And started covering the Old Manasssas Courthouse with yards and yards of American splendor.

Open Horizons

We have been opening up and expanding into more areas then just photography.  Event Production is one of the areas of moment... Production management has been something we have done for a while now, it will now become a bigger part of the Theatre Image skyline.  Currently we have been working on the 2011 Peace Jubilee for Foot Steps in Time, City of Manassas and Prince William County.  The show will be on July 21, 2011 @ 4PM at the Old Manassas Courthouse in the City of Manassas.  Check back often as we will be posting behind the scenes report from the show...
