BRIDGEPORT, CT (May XX, 2016): Global Scenic Services, Inc. (GSS), an internationally respected scenery fabrication company, based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, turns the fantastical and dramatic visions of leading scenic designers of opera, ballet and drama productions into multi-dimensional realities. James Malski, acting president of GSS, announced that the company’s recent projects have included:

Dimitrij – An opera, that takes place in 17th century Russia, will have a set designed by David Zinn, a Tony award winner for The Humans and a respected set and costume designer. This will open in July at The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.

Little Foxes – Nominated for six 2017 Tony Awards including Outstanding Set Design, this play is a revival of the Lillian Hellman play at the Manhattan Theatre Club, New York City, just opened April 13th.
