Welcome to Ray’s Theatrical Services!

Ray’s Theatrical Services (RTS) is the brainchild of Ray Calcutt, a Stage Carpenter/Head Mechanist with over 30 years of experience.

Ray initially set up RTS in Australia in 1995. He operated the business for 12 years, growing it until he sold it in 2007 and left to pursue work as a commercial manager for Jands.

Ray has been in and out of the theatre world since then, most recently as senior health and safety advisor for Regional Facilities Auckland/Auckland Unlimited, and has a well established reputation as a sound and reliable source of theatrical wizardry.

In 2020, Ray felt it was time to return to RTS, this time in New Zealand. Operating in West Auckland, RTS uses stage mechanical skills and common sense to come up with a solution to whatever theatrical problem you may have.
