Mountain Productions has proudly been staging the University of Pennsylvania<\/strong> Commencement ceremonies and Wharton School graduations for the past several years. The iconic outdoor commencement has a unique look that UPenn has been using for over 10 years. Located in Franklin Field, the graduation ceremony takes place on outdoor decking flanked by two scaffold walls<\/a> that are adorned with custom printed softgoods<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The scrims are hung on a diagonal plane inside the scaffold wall, creating a unique visual backdrop to the stage. Two scaffold towers are built to the far sides of the scaffold wall and support audio. On the center stage deck, a custom canopy shade completes the iconic UPenn graduation aesthetic.<\/p>\n
