Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) January 30, 2008
Showcall, Inc., an event production company based in Maryland, was selected by the Archdiocese of Washington D.C. to produce Pope Benedict XVI’s public Mass at the new Washington Nationals baseball stadium on April 17, 2008. Over 40,000 attendees are expected to attend.
The two and a half day Papal visit includes a meeting with President Bush at the White House, a visit to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the public Mass at Washington Nationals baseball stadium, and visits to The Catholic University of America and the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center.
Showcall, Inc. will provide stage and set design and layout, audio visual production, and overall show direction of the public Mass. Showcall will utilize its unique skill set in producing high-profile, high-threat level events and will coordinate with the Washington Nationals to host the first major event in its new baseball stadium. Showcall will work closely with GEP Washington, the overall DMC firm for the visit.
“We are deeply honored to participate in Pope Benedict’s visit and of course, we are delighted that the planning committee has agreed that Showcall’s resume of large scale special events and lighting, audio and video equipment inventory are the right fit for executing a Papal celebration of this significance and magnitude.” said Ajay R. Patil, co-founder and senior partner of Showcall, Inc.
Showcall Inc. was founded in 2001 by Ajay R. Patil and A. Blayne Candy. Since that time, Showcall has provided turnkey production services on an international basis for Summits, White House Conferences, Fortune 100 companies, associations, and national entertainment.
