City Theatrical's London office is headed by Martin Chisnall, well known for his work in the UK theatre industry as a production electrician for West End shows, national and international tours. Most recently his work has included Macbeth in London's West End, and, around the world, the International Tour of Mamma Mia!.
Chisnall commented: "After 20 years working in the lighting industry as a customer I'm looking forward to the challenge of getting to know the business from 'the other side of the fence'. I've had a long association with City Theatrical, and have already collaborated on a number of custom products over the years. They're a company known for their creativity and inventiveness, and with the launch of SHoW DMX, the timing couldn't be better."
All City Theatrical products will continue to be available through existing dealers. The new office will allow City Theatrical to work closely with lighting users to introduce more European orientated products, along with providing design and customization services to a wider audience, says the company.
