Global Scenic Services Announces New Contract in Themed Immersion Entertainment Environments

James Malski, president of Global Scenic Services, Inc., a fabricator of theatrical scenery, in Bridgeport, CT, announced a contract with 5 Wits Productions (5wits.com), headquartered in Norwood, MA, to produce "Espionage" a 40' x 60' total immersion entertainment adventure for installation at the Plymouth Meeting Mall, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Malski saysx, "Immersion entertainment is growing in popularity and Global Scenic Services is building an impressive portfolio of simple to highly complex solutions for multi-sensory and multi-dimensional themes. From large installations, such as 5 Wits' 5-room spy mission, to music festivals for Two Road Brewery, in Stratford, CT, we collaborate with clients to provide the support and creativity needed to fabricate unique and safe environs on budget and on time."

"Espionage," scheduled to open Fall 2018, will allow participants to "become" the action heroes who stop a madman from exploding a world destroying missile. Physical and mind twisting puzzles in five rooms rigged with touch, motion, and action initiated lights, sounds, music, and moving parts will engage groups.

Josh Scherr, of Global Scenic Services, says, "The 5 Wits' installation differs from the 40' x 80' installation created with Revolution Marketing, of White Plains, NY, for the 2017 Coachella Music and Arts Festival's top sponsor H&M."

H&M's tent was a consumer journey through a mod Palm Springs House themed garage, living room and patio, infinity mirror space, and more. Virtual reality interactions were enhanced with music, sounds, and lights. The environs provided H&M Coachella Collection pop-ups, lounges, mobile recharging stations, water bars, and air conditioning. This was the third-year Global Scenic Services worked with Revolution Marketing for H&M at Coachella.

Global Scenic Services partnered with show creators Rania & Rami Ajami to fabricate twelve multi-sensorial environments for the children's immersive play Pips' Island. The show ran off-Broadway in 2017 and will reopen in 2018.
