[SML] Curtains

[Wally Eastland]

I agree with everything Kristi says below. The only thing I’ll add is another curtain vendor – Stage Dec in Greensboro, NC.

The biggest cost for curtains is often shipping, so getting quotes from close companies is a good idea.

Syracuse Scenery and Stage Lighting in NY
Norcostco in MN
Mainstage in MKE/FL
Sew What CA
Bella Tex (Texas?? I don’t remember)
are all companies I’ve dealt with and would recommend for this.

Triple check your dimensions and ensure you have rigging strong enough to hold the weight - INCLUDING chain/ties/etc. And a plan for installation which is not you and the students. When you compare bids, make certain you are comparing the SAME fabric - velour vs duvetyn vs erosion cloth are not the same. You want a good weight of Velour so you get some acoustic absorption from it, too.
