⭐ About Travis Beck

Entertainment & Events Leader | Set Decorator | Experience Designer

I’m Travis Beck — a creative leader with over 20 years of experience managing immersive, large-scale entertainment across theme parks, national tours, haunted attractions, and award-winning film/TV productions.

I started my career leading Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia, designing and operating haunted houses and live shows inside the park. From there, I went on to produce nationally touring live events, serve as Stage Manager for Grammy-winning artists, and eventually lead set decoration on major productions like BMF and They Cloned Tyrone. Whether it’s building a world from scratch or directing a large crew through a high-stakes launch — I bring focus, speed, and strong creative vision to every challenge.

What sets me apart is the intersection of logistics and imagination: I love managing schedules and budgets just as much as I love creating memorable moments for guests. I’ve worked on tight turnarounds, last-minute pivots, and multi-department productions with brand partners, sponsors, licensing agents, and creative execs — and I thrive in all of it.

I'm equally comfortable working behind the scenes or on the front lines — managing talent, directing stage teams, solving crises in real time, and ensuring every show runs like clockwork.

Whether it’s a large holiday experience, a film set, or a live show on tour, I build environments that leave a mark — and I lead teams that make it happen.
