With majestic San Jacinto mountains as a background and the Rancho Las Palmas Resort as the stage, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange’s St. Joseph Health System’s annual meeting and conference featured a simple, clean, understated style.

PCE’s Tim Hemrich designed and coordinated the show’s visual elements which included a translucent light-up stage, floor to ceiling white drape, and custom fabricated hanging tiles. “The set’s subtle elegance featured a mid-century, three dimensional, negative-space look which allowed lighting designer Dallas Lucero to work his magic,” states Hemrich. Lucero used a slew of Elation LED Design Bricks along with stage set and truss flown PowerSpot moving lights and conventional fixtures. Hemrich adds, “The PCE team executed the show design and remote set-ups flawlessly.”

The Jim Henson Company’s “Puppet Up! – Stuffed and Unstrung” stage production made it’s west coast premiere at the Irvine Barclay Theatre with technical support and equipment provided by PCE.  The live show featured improvisational sketches performed in a mixed-format which allowed the audience to see the performers as puppeteers and puppets on screen as they’re conventionally experienced.   PCE provided projection screens, an HD video camera, video distribution, show audio, technical support, and ancillary supplies.  The “adults only” show is the latest incarnation of the company’s Puppet Up! series and as shows go, Puppet Up! is in a league of its own.

Downtown Long Beach was the site for an evening block party as part of the week-long annual AOPA Conference.  Aircraft enthusiasts from around the world descended on Long Beach and took to the streets for a night of live entertainment.  Pacific Coast Entertainment was on-hand to provide the gear and personnel for the block-long event site. The main stage was serviced by EAW & QSC sound equipment, fed by the Yamaha M7 Digital Console.  While the lighting rig consisting of LED’s and Power Spot 700’s under the control of PCE’s Road Hog, put on a show of its own.  Also on hand was the amazing ICON A5 Sport Aircraft. This aircraft displayed on the street, also illuminated by eye popping LED luminaries, was a real show-stopper.  PCE’s Tim Hemrich serving as Technical Director, managed all aspects of technical production. From stage and lighting design, to electrical permits, on through to execution, it was another flawless event.

SIMA Liquid Nation Ball 7, August 14, 2010

Liquid Nation Ball, the annual surf industry fundraiser focused on improving the quality of life, health, and/or the welfare of people, was a resounding success and PCE was there to make it so. A private seaside La Jolla residence hosted the event which was filled with major players in the surf industry as well as their supporters such as musician Jason Mraz, basketball great Bill Walton, and Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The building’s expansive exterior was lit with Elation’s LED Design Bricks, EXFLOODS, and Power Spot 700 moving lights.

Video coming from a variety of sources including wired and wireless cameras was projected on two 12’ x 14’ screens using Christie 12K projectors. PCE also lit the dance area which was a stage placed over an indoor swimming pool, constructed a presentation stage on the lower garden area which overlooked the ocean, and so much more!

Hosted at the La Jolla seaside home of Reef Co-Founder, Fernando Aguerre
