Pyrotechnics, or theatrical fireworks, can easily become part of your evening's entertainment as we hold a Western Australian Theatrical Pyrotechnics License. This allows us to perform without local council or FESA permission any time you require something out of the ordinary. Pyrotechnics can be incorporated into a fire show or as a stand-alone part of your evening's entertainment.

Indoor and outdoor effects are available and due to the relative close proximity between the audience and the pyrotechnics, small scale performances are often long remembered after the large fireworks evenings are forgotten.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of including pyrotechnics as part of your next function, please contact us to see what we can do for you.

What is the difference between fireworks and theatrical fireworks?

Fireworks are a subset of pyrotechnics. A firework is an "article or substance, containing one or more explosives with or without other substances, that is designed for entertainment purposes to produce light, sound, gas, smoke, or a combination of them".

Theatrical fireworks are a subset of fireworks. Unlike fireworks in general, theatrical fireworks may be used indoors or outdoors, are restricted in size and are designed for use at minimal distance from audience or performers. From a practical stand-point, this makes pyrotechnics quicker and easier to set-up and clean-up, more versatile in their use and more affordable.
