Beck Studios was founded in 1856 by William Beck, an immigrant from Germany who intended to establish himself as a children's tailor. Along the way, he discovered a love of theater and theatrical production and eventually began to supply costumes and props, stage curtains, drops, parade swags, mirror balls, and other stage dressing.

Beck Studios is easily my go-to for all lighting needs. As a high school theatre director and educator, not only do I need product I can trust, but it's really helpful to have the Beck team for project support as well. They've always taken the time to answer any and all questions, and I'm really grateful. Highly recommend!

Beck Studios came in to install a pit safety net after our recent auditorium renovation. They worked well in conjunction with myself who has more of a theatre background, as well as our corporation's project manager to ensure all construction and code needs were compliant as well. They were accommodating with the schedule and safety needs of the school due to COVID-19, and delivered a great final result!
