Paul Arthur Ebeling

 

Paul Arthur EbelingTheatrical Services was formed in 2002 by Kansas City native, Paul Arthur Ebeling. Paul began his relationship with live entertainment as a performer when he was only ten years old. With a concentration in various magic and illusion shows, it’s estimated that over 250,000 people have seen Paul perform in some capacity over the last fifteen years. In college, Paul pursued his theatrical interests on the technical side and earned a theatre degree from the University of Missouri – Kansas City, with an emphasis in Design and Technology.

Since then, Paul has provided production elements and consultation for everything from musical theatre and opera to special events and tv/film. We have qualified technicians with Unloading Show Truckexpertise in all areas of entertainment production. We can provide show and project development before the production starts and management through to the end of its run. Talented script writers, show directors, video producers, and live performers all await your production’s invitation. We can provide audio and lighting support, as well as video production and live cameras and projection. If you’re in the market for special effects to enhance your production or event, you’ve also come to the right place.

Testimonials

Believe the Impossible

It was such a treat to have Believe The Impossible at our venue.  We were very impressed with the amount of audience participation and the content.  You and your company are consummate professionals and we wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.  We would love to have you back again!

~Barbara E. Wiggins, Executive Director of Topeka Performing Arts Center

 


 

Plaza Lights BackdropTaking Sides Set

Paul’s creative design for Reckless at City Stage in Union Station allowed this play to move like lighting from scene to scene – many, many scenes. Paul’s design for Taking Sides was historically accurate and evocative of a German bunker in the war-torn rubble of Berlin.

~Ron Schaeffer, KCREP Production Manager and director of both productions

 


 

Sparts Radio DesignH&R Block Repertory Theatre Model

Paul worked for me as technical director for my play Sparts Radio, and built an excellent scale model of the new Copaken Stage for Kansas City Repertory Theatre. His work is first-rate, and the ideas and flexibility he brought to both projects were exemplary. I would recommend him highly.

 ~William P. Prenevost, Managing Director of Kansas City Repertory Theatre

 


 

RMHC Auction 2008

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you on several occasions.  You have been a tremendous asset to Ronald McDonald House Charities – Kansas City. I did not have to worry on the day of the event about any audio visual aspect as I knew you had it covered.  You did a flawless job of executing during the live event.  You were calm under pressure and took care of everything. You are also easy to work with, always open to suggestions and able to come up with new ideas.  I would highly recommend your services to anyone! 

~Linsey Koshlap, Event Coordinator of Ronald McDonald House Charities

Paul’s work is solid. He’s innovative, consistent and he certainly makes the production easy and pain free on me and my staff. We have no worries with his work and we are certain the outcome will be better than what we expect! 

~Anne Dykes, Development Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities
