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.
