We are equipped to assist theatres and performance venues in achieving a delightful show in Sydney, NSW by making a front-of-house curtain that perfectly meets your needs.
Have you ever been to a theatre production where the stage is given away at first glance? Many times, we don’t think about a front-of-house curtain providing an element of surprise when a show begins – until we realise it’s missing. At Specialty Theatre, we are equipped to assist theatres and performance venues in achieving a delightful beginning to each show in Sydney, NSW by making a front-of-house curtain that perfectly meets your needs.
The front-of-house curtain has numerous “stage names,” if you’ll excuse the pun. This is the enormous curtain at the very front of the stage, sometimes known as the house curtain, act curtain, grand drape, main drape, or even the main rag. Front-of-house curtains are as functional as they are beautiful, with options such as Traveller, wipe, Venetian, and Tableau.
Front-of-house curtains aren’t just the visual buffer between the audience and the stage. They also act as an acoustic barrier, a characteristic achieved via the materials used in production. Velvet front-of-house curtains are a particular favourite for theatres that want to provide a plush, rich appearance. Heavy theatre wool can also provide a glamorous appearance, as well as the acoustic qualities required.
Did we mention that a front-of-house curtain gives your presentation a grand finale? We create and custom-make front-of-house curtains to fit any theatre, no matter how big or little, and no matter where you are. We’ll install your curtain after we’ve cut, sewn, and constructed it to your exact specifications. We offer a “no fuss” guarantee in the uncommon event that service is necessary after installation.
