Your Stage Curtains Present An Image To Your Audience

Directing the sound and light on your stage is essential because producing the perfect performance means that you need to frame the image correctly. You might have the greatest actors and actresses in the world, but they won’t come across to the audience in the right way if your curtain system is not correct.

This is why you need to take great care when selecting your theatre curtains. The front of house auditorium curtains are probably the most critical curtains of all, because that is what your audience looks at when taking their seats. There is nothing else to look at, after all. Those curtains are also what they see between acts, and during the interval in a cinema.

This is precisely why your stage curtains need to present an image which goes along with the overall way that you “sell” your theatre and drag the audiences in. They want to know that they are going to have a good time. After all, nobody goes to the theatre or cinema because they have to: they go to unwind and to enjoy themselves. It’s relaxation time, so your theatre has to provide the right ambience and show that it is the best.

This is especially important in a larger city where you may be in competition with many other theatres. Why should they choose to see your production rather than another?

Your curtains are a major part of the overall appeal of your theatre, so they have to be just right. Choosing the right ones is an art form in itself.

The Appearance Of Front Of House Theatre Curtains Is Critical

There comes a time in the life of every theatre manager when he or she realises that the theatre curtains really are on their last legs and need replacement. Nothing lives forever, and auditorium curtains are no exception.

Of course, replacing the curtains involves quite an expense, so you need to be certain that you choose a company that has plenty of experience in the design, manufacture, and installation of them, in order to be sure that you present the right impression to your audiences.

You absolutely must have great front of house curtains that marry in with the décor of your theatre or cinema, whether it is a major London theatre, a village hall, or even a private cinema in your own home, which is what many celebrities aspire to. Let’s face it, if you are a celebrity with a well-known face - male or female – you have to look perfect when you are out and about in public, and the same thing goes when you invite people into your home, whoever they are. Your home cinema has to look as good as, if not better than, a public one.

There is an old saying that you only get one chance to make a great first impression, and it is absolutely true. The first thing that your audience sees when taking their seats in the auditorium are your stage curtains. That is where they are looking, and that is why they have to be beyond perfect.
