About

Built by people who have

David Weil

The discipline of industrial theater
applied to every show.

Founded in 2006 to bring the rigor of theater and the precision of broadcast to the world of corporate events. Twenty years later, the same idea drives the work: technology in service of story, executed with the calm confidence that only comes from having done it hundreds of times.

David is Berklee College of Music trained (BA in Music Production & Engineering, drums) who has spent over two decades behind the consoles, in the truck, and on the headset for some of the most demanding live moments in tech, finance, and entertainment.

The bench

A trusted team of producers,
designers, and crew.

FiveEleven is built on a deep bench of long-tenured collaborators: producers, show-callers, engineers, and designers we've worked alongside for years. The same trusted faces show up for the highest-stakes rooms, which is why our clients ask for them by name.

Behind the scenes

The work that shows up
happens before doors open.

Pre-pro, rehearsals, walk-throughs, and meaningful conversations so show day feels effortless.

Giving back

Every show pays it forward.

Generosity is wired into how we operate to support causes that matter to us: keeping music alive for the next generation, making sure no one goes without a meal, feeding our Montclair neighbors, and investing in the public schools that shape our community.
