MonkeyWrenchMonkey Wrench Productions Swings Into New Space

    After another year of growth Monkey Wrench Productions has doubled its square footage so they can increase fixture demos, speed up fixture repair and stock more inventory. Head Chimp Seth Scott has expanded his business location to stock more of the high quality professional lighting, sound, and event equipment that put his Twin Cities business on the map. The new space highlights the retail portion of their business. With an expanded staff and space, Monkey Wrench is more prepared than ever to solve your production needs.
     “The expansion gives us back our demo room for shoot outs, demos, and makes more space for our repairs, system intergration and inventory display,” says owner Seth Scott. Monkey Wrench hosts regular shoot outs of similar fixtures from all of the industries heavy hitters. March's shoot out will be of of Hybrids.
    Monkey Wrench is a Production Retail and Repair business located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Their retail location stocks lamps, gel, fluid, rigging, industry tools, dmx, gaff tape and many more industry specific items.
    Monkey Wrench excels at taking care of their customers and finding the best solutions for their production and budget needs, demo-ing the latest in lighting fixtures, or packaging online orders while the shop dogs, Marnie and Irving, nap on the couch.

Swing on into our expanded Jungle!

Josh    Josh Lentner is a Minnesota native who received his undergraduate degree in Theatre Production from Saint Mary’s University of MN.  From there he went out to Las Vegas and attained his M.F.A. in Lighting Design from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.  Finding that the design side was not technical enough, he fell back into the nuts and bolts of how a design comes to life.  In his free time Josh enjoys cooking and spending time outdoors.  Josh is very excited to be joining the Gopher Team!
