Backstage Presence was founded in 2004 by Tracy Frink, who has been working in technical theater since the early 1990's. The company was started as a way for Tracy to use the network of contacts that she had built over the years to help spread the word of upcoming jobs on productions and events to fellow theater techs in the Houston area.

The popularity of this service grew very quickly and the company started to transform into a full service staffing company. The depth of the list of technical theater resources signed up with Backstage Presence to receive calls on upcoming jobs grew, and was only exceeded by the number of organization calling for workers.

By 2006, Backstage Presence enjoyed a strong list of clients calling from two industries. Theatrical organizations still called for resources, but companies within the special events industry had also taken notice of Backstage Presence and its work. Backstage Presence had diversified its offerings to match the needs of two markets.

Also in 2006, when it became clear that Backstage Presence was going to continue to grow and prosper, the need to expand and build out a company infrastructure became a top priority. The company began looking for ways to partner with others in the industry and to build out an internal infrastructure.

For that purpose, Tracy reached an agreement with Natasha Serrano to turn over management of the company in 2007. The company immediately incorporated to become Backstage Presence, Inc., and the work to build out an infrastructure and foundation upon which the company could continue to grow began. Tracy is still involved as consultant and advisor to the company and is actively involved in helping to shape the decisions that are made in the growth process.

As always, the show must go on. While we continue to steadily build this foundation, Backstage Presence, Inc. has continued work with its clients on many types of jobs within the Houston area. We have also been fortunate enough to form new relationships with additional customers as well. Through these customer relationships, we are proud to say that we have worked on a very diverse set of productions and events in the recent past, including lighting and sound for the Pointer Sisters performance in Houston in Fall 2007, lighting and setup for the recent National Association for Catering Executives (NACE) Convention during the summer of 2007, and Backstage Crew for the Moscow Ballet performances in Houston during the Christmas 2007 season.

Backstage Presence, Inc.'s top priorities will always be to provide the highest quality labor for the best possible price to our customers, and to motivate our Crew members to continue to work with us because of high satisfaction with the work experience we provide.
