Straight Street produces concerts, festivals, and theatre across Ontario — sound, lighting, staging, and video — with one all-in quote and a crew that serves the show, never competes with it. From an outdoor festival stage to a theatre run, we run the technical side so the performance shines.
Backed by our Comfort Warranty — if something isn’t right, we do everything within our power to make it right.
Whether it’s a touring act, an outdoor festival, or a theatre run, the production has to serve the performance and disappear behind it. That’s a discipline we’ve practised across Ontario’s stages and festival grounds for decades, and it’s why performers and organizers trust us with the room.
We’ve produced full AV for The Community Players of New Hamburg (TCP) for more than 20 years — including their productions of Mary Poppins, Ragtime, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame in a self-built 600-seat arena theatre — and for dance, a decade-plus with the CultureFest Dance Competitions. We work in theatres across the region, from the Grand and the Capitol to Centre in the Square, the Living Arts Centre, the Rose Theatre, the Orillia Opera House, and the Thousand Islands Playhouse.

Straight Street were amazing to work with for our community theatre group. They went above and beyond to provide us with excellent equipment, services and even helped us out when some of our own equipment wasn’t performing as expected. We really appreciate their professionalism and hard work to make sure our show was a success. Thank you again!

We have been working with Straight Street for over 10 years for all our large and small scale events (from concerts to CultureFest Dance Competitions)!! They continue to be a pleasure to work with to this day — their team is super professional and easy to work with!

the Mariposa Folk Festival thanked our team in writing for our professionalism in production, staging, and sound — and specifically for our support during and after an on-site storm.

They should be planned for, not feared. We build for outdoor conditions — power, site access, safety, and sightlines — and we’ve carried festivals through real weather. Mariposa thanked us in writing for our support during and after a storm.
Neither do we. The production’s job is to serve the show and then get out of the way — clear sound, the right light, and nothing that competes with the performer.
We work with what you have and fill the gaps — and we’ll back you up if something fails. As one community-theatre group put it, we “even helped us out when some of our own equipment wasn’t performing as expected.”
Tell us about your event — venue, audience, program, and budget — and we’ll recommend the right production for it. Not the most complex one. The right one.
Your Event Goals. Our Expertise. That’s Straight Street.
You don’t need to know AV. Tell us what your event needs to do, and we’ll design the production around it and quote one all-in price.
