Our Story

Rhino Staging was founded in Arizona in 1991. At that time, the working conditions for stagehands there were poor. Rhino was founded with the simple philosophy of doing things right and treating people well. This was a recipe for success and Rhino’s reputation for professional service and excellent working conditions grew. This has allowed us to become the leading provider of event labor staffing nationwide. We have pioneered many positive changes in the entertainment industry and will continue to lead in safety, training, and professional service.

The dog days of summer have ended (so long, Sirius!), but down Louisiana way the heat and humidity linger on. So it's more than just a nicety to have your friends looking out for you with snow cones, ice cream and iced coffee the way ASM Global has been doing this summer at the Smoothie King Center and Caesars Superdome. This lagniappe, as Rhino Staging Louisiana's Director of Operations Ray Cullen called this act of kindness, is most welcome by the crews and helps to keep spirits high. Abby Jones, ASM New Orleans Director of Sales & Marketing, told us, "I always try to include the Rhino team since they are the ones up in the rafters and pulling the all-nighters!" Thank you, Abby and ASM, you are appreciated! ... See MoreSee Less

It was 25 years ago today, Aug. 28, 1999, that Rhino Colorado went out on its first call at the then Pepsi Center, now Ball Arena, in Denver. Rhino founder and CEO Jeff Giek was on that call (a rigging call) as were James Acuna, Steve Davis, Matt Hudson and Matt Lofdahl, all of whom remain with Rhino to this day. In speaking with Jeff about the job he recalled a sense of excitement on entering a new building (opened in 1999) with the prospect of work to come. Since that day, Ball Arena and owner/operator Kronke Sports & Entertainment have been outstanding partners to Rhino providing us many work and training opportunities there and at other KSE venues such as Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Paramount Theatre and 1stBank Center in the Denver area, and So. Cal's Sofi Stadium and YouTube Theater. ... See MoreSee Less

Congrats to Rhino Colorado for a successful launch of the new Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs earlier this month. Shout-outs to J Blain and Selina Martinez as supervisors for, respectively, the soft opening on the 6th and the trio of concerts by hometown heroes OneRepublic that followed. A tip of the hard hat also to Tony Caruana. Tony served as Safety Supervisor for the run of events and earned the praise of RCO's Natalie Rizzo for "doing a fantastic job!" Well done, all, and welcome to your new home away from home at the fabulous Ford Amphitheater! ... See MoreSee Less
