“Specialty Theatre were engaged to make and install wool curtains to completely surround and semi-blackout our two new rehearsal rooms in Collingwood,” said Anni Davey of Circus Oz. “The big room now has 4.3-metre black drapes all around making it possible to blackout to matinee levels all year round, and the small room–the term “small” is comparative only–has beautiful, colour-matched red wool curtains around three sides with high bay curtains at the second-story windows.”

“When completely drawn the room looks fabulous! We were very pleased with the professionalism of the work, the attention to detail (Their team was fussier than I was about the colour matching!), the timeliness of the delivery and the extra special attention we received” said Anni Davey of Circus Oz.

Sandra & I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the way you strived to achieve this outcome.

Local Government can be a challenge for anyone but your professional approach ensured that they could proceed with the confidence that Specialty Theatre will deliver the best outcome within the constraints of a very political budget line.

From the time you first introduced yourself I was impressed by your relaxed approach and genuine interest in our theatre. Your advice, knowledge and help has been much appreciated, as was the visit from Neil Wood.

“Mick and Brendan did a terrific job.  They were absolute gentlemen and we were pleased to have men of that calibre performing the work.”

– Graham Gooding, Ballarat Mechanics’ Institute

Grace Kelly has been more than a success – it has completely exceed all expectations!

And many thanks for the fantastic job you and your team did on those curtains (and in such a short time frame, too); GK would not have looked anywhere near as striking and elegant without them.

Warmest regards,

Sandra

“The curtain fabric assumes a different look in different light … It looks outstanding in any light & drew gasps of admiration from our Board members when it was raised and lowered recently.” – Jenny from the Rex Theatre Charlton

“I found Specialty Theatre Supplies fantastic to deal with.  Knowing they had their scope of works covered meant I had one less concern on site. From my first contact with them to the last speaker that was hung they were extremely professional and always considerate.

The team at Specialty Theatre Supplies helped us deliver the project ahead of time and within budget constraints, all to the Charlton community’s satisfaction.

We would not hesitate in working with Specialty Theatre Supplies in the future or recommending the team to any prospective clients and builders.”

“Having worked with Specialty Theatre Supplies previously we were please to find the local council and consultant team had involved the Specialty Theatre crew from project inception in planning and design development which instantly created a confidence a successful project outcome would be achieved.”

To Whom it May Concern,

Kennett Pty Ltd have recently completed the renovation of the Goolwa Centenary Hall creating a 200 seat theatre setting within an 80 year old regional community hall.

Having worked with Specialty Theatre Supplies previously we were please to find the local council and consultant team had involved the Specialty Theatre crew from project inception in planning and design development which instantly created a confidence a successful project outcome would be achieved.

As a one stop shop covering, audio, lighting, projection and curtaining Specialty Theatre Supplies bring the experience needed to the project for all parties to deliver quality.

As expected we again found Specialty Theatre Supplies to be thoroughly professional to deal with through all stages of the project and the team oriented practical approach to overcoming inherent latent building issues encountered within an aging regional building greatly assisted in achieving an outcome the community will enjoy for years to come.

We would not hesitate in working with Specialty Theatre Supplies in the future or recommending the team to any prospective clients and builders.

Kind regards,

Paul Jennings

WOW that was the quickest response anyone has ever given….Thank you so much…

Cheers Julie.

Drum Theatre engaged the services of Specialty Theatre Supplies to manufacture a Panorama track system.

We wanted something we could rely on that we could install ourselves. We were really impressed with the ease in which we put this track together, the joining pins are some of the strongest and best I have seen on any track.

It fit together a lot better than anything else I have used. The support and instructions provided by the team at Specialty Theatre were great. They took the time to ensure we were happy with the product and had the information we needed to successfully install the track. The end result is a reliable track that operates smoothly and quietly.

I have no hesitation is recommending this product or the service of the Specialty Theatre Team.

Thank you, so much for all of the great work that you and your company did with the design, development and installation of our stage curtains.  From the time we contacted you it has been a very positive experience.  You have visited the site for numerous meetings and ensured that we were happy not only with the product, but with the timeline and installation.

Thank you for your professionalism and willingness to ensure that we were not only satisfied with the finished product but with the design and installation time as well.  We were so pleased with your company’s service that we already recommended you to other schools.

Yours Sincerely,
Damian Gambley

“My dividing curtain project at the St Kilda Town Hall was on the face of it a fairly straight forward looking affair. At all times during the project Jim from Specialty kept me in the loop with the status of production and manufacture.

When there were speed bumps he always was quick to advise where things were at and where we were to go from there. The added bonus to us was the ability to have our curtains custom dyed to the exact colours we desired.

Through out installation period, the staff who worked on my project were great. Their workmanship was excellent and I’m very happy with the outcome.”

“We wish to thank you and your team for their assistance on this project.  Without your contribution on this demanding and complex project, we would not have been able to meet the tight programme and deliver the project ahead of time and within budget constraints, all to the Client’s satisfaction.

We look forward to continuing our working relationship on future projects.”

Many thanks,

With kind regards,

“Thank you for much for your speedy installation of our screen, and most particularly for your no-fuss repair work.  It was a pleasure dealing with you.”  Keith Community Cinema

Just a quick thankyou for ensuring that our stage drapes were installed in time for our recent school musical.  We greatly appreciate that you were able to fill the order and complete the project on such short notice.

If the government ever throws another few million our way for another hall I’ll be in touch.
