Our Story

LASER began as a career goal dreamed up between two university classmates. It was the future potential to apply everything they learned in class and everything they experienced on the job to the industry. To bring the quality service clients deserve at a price they can afford. Add six years, hundreds of shows, and loads of paperwork, LASER became a reality. Now, LASER, LLC is a full event service and production company specializing in approachable and affordable lighting and audio services. 

Currently, LASER is the in-house audio-visual team at New Center Park providing audio support and projections for the summer programming organized by Midtown Detroit, Inc. We also provide audio, lighting, and other technicians to visiting theatrical productions performing in the park.
