History
Established in 2009.
In October of 2009, a group of investors, led by Mitch Clark and Scott Scovill, formed CenterStaging, LLC and purchased certain assets of CSMP. By establishing a new company, their goal was to rebuild the once prestigious name and reestablish it as the premier rehearsal and backline facility in Los Angeles. With the addition of Artist Relations offices for some of the largest manufacturers in the musical equipment industry, CenterStaging has increased its superior suite of services while maintaining the decorum, privacy, and discretion customers expect, and has reclaimed its spot as the premier rehearsal and backline facility in Los Angeles.
The list of clients that CenterStaging services is endless. Our clients include the GRAMMY Awards, Academy Awards, MDA Telethon, Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, numerous Presidential Inaugurations, the Olympics, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Jimmy Kimmel, The Voice, and many more.
Meet the Business Owner: Mitch C.
Managing a civic center in the early 80's, Mitch was responsible for bringing performances and talent into Midland, Texas. Having a difficult time finding outdoor staging products for concerts, he soon capitalized on the need for trussing products in the USA and began manufacturing TOMCAT truss out of his garage in 1987.
What started with just four employees grew to 4 manufacturing plants around the world: Liverpool, London, Guadalajara and Midland. Mitch was the visionary behind the company's rapid growth and TOMCAT soon became the leading manufacturer of staging, lighting and support systems in the entertainment, audiovisual, and exhibition industries.
His personal involvement in projects large and small earned the company its reputation for "making it happen".In 2006, Mitch sold the TOMCAT Global family of companies to a London based publicly traded company.
