You are only as good as the technicians you hire, and CenterStaging has the BEST in the biz! These behind-the-scenes all-stars rarely get to stand in the spotlight but if it weren't for their relentless dedication to detail, most shows would not run as smoothly as they do. With that said, we would like to show our appreciation to Gabriel Serrano. A six year veteran of CenterStaging, Gabe is currently the resident technician at one of our late night favorites, 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'. Since its premier in 2003 CenterStaging has provided production support exclusively for the show. (In fact, we go way back with Jimmy, when he and Adam Corolla were working together on The Man Show)  Mac Burrus - Gabriel Serrano " 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' has always been a place where ideas happen on the fly and CenterStaging has been able to handle any request that comes up at the last minute. Having Gabe on the show, is testament to CenterStaging employing the knowledgeable and fast thinking people that help us execute any request. His friendly attitude and ability to work with anyone that comes through on our show and really helps us create an excellent TV experience for the artists and our viewers." - Mac Burrus, Music CoProducer for 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Be sure to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live weeknights at midnight on ABC http://abc.go.com/shows/jimmy-kimmel-live For information regarding our production services contact AJ Soldo at aj@centerstaging.com Gear Review
