Our History

We’ve been in this industry for over 40 years because we’ve continued to evolve with it.

ACME began in 1985 as a small props and sets shop serving still photography and television. As demand grew, so did the scope. By the early 1990s, we moved deeper into lighting, staging, and full production support, building a reputation for taking on complex, high-impact work and seeing it through. From large-scale exhibit fabrication to intricate lighting environments, we’ve never shied away from the kind of projects that demand experience, problem-solving, and follow-through. Over the years, that’s included everything from zoo exhibits and traveling installations to one-off builds like Lakefront Brewery’s “Kegnado” and the Northwestern Mutual Giving Gallery.

In 2019, ACME Corp Production Resources became a subsidiary of A to Z Theatrical Supply and Service, a company with deep roots in the theatre industry dating back to 1959. Becoming a part of the A to Z family opened the door to an even broader range of resources, from large-scale props and costumes to full show packages.

Today, ACME stands as the result of continuous evolution—shaped by decades of hands-on experience, a commitment to improvement, and a lasting passion for the industry that shows in every project we take on.
