About · The house crew · Est. 2010

We are the ones still on the ladder.

National Entity is an owner-led production company in Sacramento. The people who quote your show are the people who hang it, run it and load it out at two in the morning.

Load-in

The truck backs in while the room is still on work lights. Motors and truss go up first, because everything else hangs off them.

How we work

Four things we will not move on.

01

Manager on the job

The person who quotes your show is on site running it. No handoff to a name you have never spoken to.

02

One crew, one call sheet

Lighting, video, audio, staging and labor, everyone working as one.

03

Built to be inspected

Structure gets engineered, ballasted and signed off before anyone steps on deck. Every time, indoors or out.

04

The schedule holds

We advance the day before we quote it, so doors open when the ticket says they open.

The people

Sacramento based, West Coast booked.

A core crew of designers, engineers and stagehands, scaled up with trusted locals when the room calls for it.
