In addition providing Audio Visual services and equipment for the Nominee Announcement, SmartSource Rentals also handled the press room operation on the Sunday night of the Tony Awards (June 7th, 2009) providing a stage and sound system for press interviews of the winners, and monitors for viewing of the Tony Awards broadcast throughout the Rainbow Room.

SmartSource Rentals has been involved in the Tony Award presentations since 2000 (formerly as ACE AV).

The 2009 Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. Marking 63 years of excellence on Broadway, The Tony Awards was broadcasted live from Radio City Music Hall on CBS, Sunday, June 7th, 8:00 – 11:00 p.m. (ET/PT time delay).
