Teasers & Tormentors

Category:

Description

Teasers & tormentors are stage curtains that are placed immediately upstage of the proscenium arch to reduce or reshape the size of the opening.

The proscenium opening or arch is part of the base building architecture and therefore has fixed proportions that can’t easily be changed.  Teasers & tormentors are stage curtains, sometimes fixed and sometimes movable, that are placed immediately upstage of the proscenium arch to reduce or reshape the size of the opening.
A teaser, or top masking, is a horizontal curtain attached to a batten and hung upstage of the proscenium and just behind the front-of-house curtain, which reduces the height of the proscenium.
Tormentors, or side maskings, are vertical stage drapes – usually hung on battens attached to travellers running on stage track— that reduce the visual width of the stage for certain scenes.  Like the teaser, the tormentors are usually mounted just upstage of the main drape and downstage of any additional legs or borders.
