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.

Rhino Northern California team member Joseph McNamara was unexpectedly taken from this world on October 10, 2024. He was a loving son, brother and Rhino crash member.JoeMac, as he was affectionately known to family and friends, started with Rhino in 2013. He worked primarily as a forklift and other equipment operator. JoeMac’s Rhino colleagues expressed deep respect and affection for him in the reminiscences they shared with us following his passing.“An excellent equipment operator and an extremely kind human. We will remember him fondly and miss him often.”“He was hands down one of the most authentic and real people I’ve ever known. I can’t think of a single person that didn’t love him.”“He had a positive attitude. He was never negative, not one time when I was around him. He was a pleasure to work with.”“JoeMac was a legend in this industry. He'll be long remembered for his insane work skills, positive attitude and good nature. He was just a fun person to be around. He will be greatly missed.” “We were on stage in the VIP balcony... Both of us singing and dancing away... Then yelling “Young Mula, baby” outloud all festival for a week long. That was the best.”Thank you, JoeMac, for giving us your best. Rest now in peace. ... See MoreSee Less

Rhino Staging
#ThrowbackThursday to four years ago when the pandemic had made arena shows a thing of the past. These dazzling photos show work in progress on Oct. 17, 2020 for the Billboard Latin Music Awards held four days later at the then BB&T Center (now Amerant Bank Arena) in Sunrise, Florida. Rhino's Regional Director of Operations for the Southeast Mike Simon recalls this as the first arena show after the onset of the pandemic adding, "the situation was quite an eye opener on the outbreak side of things." For that show, Mike and Rhino FL's Asst. Director of Production Alex Moran worked with Rhino's Dir. of Rigging and Safety Matt Hudson to develop a Covid-era working protocol and from that point the wheels of live event production slowly began to turn again. Thank you and well done, Rhinos, for your leadership and perseverance during a difficult period which happily now seems so long passed. ... See MoreSee Less

Rhino Staging Los Angeles was on hand last month at Sunset Studios Glenoaks in Sun Valley, CA to load in/out Paul McCartney for tour rehearsals. McCartney's "Got Back" tour, ongoing since 2022, began a South American leg this week in Montevideo, Uruguay. Will Wilson, Director of Rigging for Rhino in L.A., told us this was the first show to use Stage 4 at this brand new facility. McCartney also recently conducted band rehearsals at CenterStaging's Burbank facility, where Rhino's L.A. office is located and provides labor support for all rehearsals that require it. So, yeah, Rhino's got your back, Sir Paul. 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less
