A BIT OF HISTORY

  • Text Hover
Over more than 20 years working in the field, Gareth encountered most of the automation problems regularly faced by theatres.  Too often he noticed custom solutions were built for each show’s automation needs.  Moreover, most automation programs were slow and tedious.  Gareth obsessed about these problems.  The more he obsessed, the more passionate he became about creating great scenic automation products.  Gareth decided he needed to combine his technical theatre expertise with his software programming skills to address these problems head-on.
In 2004, Gareth started Creative Conners with the enthusiastic support of his wife, Emily.  His first basement workshop was complete with kids playing overhead, a kitten sleeping in his lap, and a cellphone that only had reception near the washing machine.  But his products were solid, his customers satisfied, and the company’s fantastic automation solutions continue to evolve to this day. Creative Conners has come a long way from the one-man automation fanatic amidst family mayhem.  They’re now a small team of automation junkies with a shop in Warren, Rhode Island — a good distance from any laundry machines.
