The Lighting & Sound Co. was hired to provide a turnkey lighting and sound package for Disney channel star Debby Ryan as she performed at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. We worked with Backstage Richmond to create a suitably sized rig for this show. It took a crew of 20 around 12 hours to complete setup on the entire rig.
