Stage Curtains, Drapes and Blackouts

Staging drapes can make all the difference to your production or presentation

We can supply and install a full range of curtains and drapes, generally made to order. We also design and install track mechanisms – fixed, manual & electric.

Front of House Curtains

Allow scenery and costume changes to be carried out unseen, as well as providing essential punctuation marks at the start, finish and intermission points in a production.

Rear Drapes or Curtains

Allow the depth of the stage to be shortened and enable performers and crew to move from stage left to stage right without being observed. They also provide a pleasing backdrop. Special materials can be employed to enhance the effect, including star-cloth and scenery canvas.

Legs

Legs are short lengths of curtain to the left and right of the stage, generally fixed, which can be used to narrow the stage and provide a pleasing border if matched to the adjacent materials. They also allow performers to be on-stage, unobserved, while awaiting their cue

Blackouts and Acoustic Materials

Can be used to exclude light and/or sound, and can be combined with other materials to be both functional and attractive.
