About Plantation Productions, Inc.

It started with a bar of soap. Really.

Several years back Randy picked up a bar of hand-made goat's-milk soap that some vendor was selling at a street fair in downtown Riverside. The soap was great. But after several reorders, the soap vendor stopped producing the fragrance that had sold Randy on the soap in the first place. So he convinced his wife to look up how to make the soap. From that, the "Soap Plantation" was born (www.the-soap-plantation.com). In the meantime, Randy was collecting P.A. and Lighting gear to use for his own performances. At one point or another Randy realized that the sound and lighting system he'd put together was far better than what most local bands were using, so he began renting out the gear. The Soap Plantation business, the Pro Audio business, and Randy's (computer) consulting business were merged together and the corporation Plantation Productions, Inc., was created.

Unfortunately, one person cannot handle running sound and lights for anything but the smallest show, so Randy talked Kevin McKee ("McKee Productions") into joining the roster. Kevin took over the responsibilities for live sound and recording so Randy could concentrate on lights, videography, and photography.

Today, Plantation Productions, Inc., uses the talents of several people (depending on the size of the show, of course). Oh, and if you want a great bar of soap, we can get it for you. Really.

An Attitude Like No Other Sound Company

Randy Hyde, Plantation Productions' president, was once warned that he would never make a great sound guy because he was just "too nice." Sound crews have gotten a reputation for being, well, grumpy. That's not our approach. Indeed, we've gotten the reputation for bending over backwards to keep people happy. As shocking a concept as this might seem to our competition, we believe that it's our job to make our customers happy and work with them (and let them work with us) to achieve the goal.
