Stage & Theatre Drapes
We custom manufacture durable, high-quality drapes of any type or size, including stage, house and acoustical drapery. We also provide lambrequins, cycloramas and scrims.
Our stage drapery includes:
Proscenium drapes
These drapes create a sound and sight barrier between the audience and stage and are also called front drapes
Making drapes
These drapes are located behind the proscenium and hide stage and lighting equipment and backstage areas.
Valances
Borders
We offer border drapes to hide lights and equipment above the stage.
Legs
Also known as side drapes, legs conceal off-stage areas and create wings for entrances and sidelights.
Travelers
This drape divides a stage to create a smaller space and hide equipment or backdrops. They’re available in one or two panels.
Cycloramas
These rear drapes are used with special lighting to create the illusion of a sky for exterior scenes. The fabric comes in single-color drops and can be painted or printed.
Our scrims include:
Sharkstooth scrims
A sharkstooth scrim can be light from the front for an opaque effect or the back to make it translucent.
Leno-filled scrims
This is another type of sharkstooth scrim with filled holes often used to project abstract shapes and patterns on its highly reflective surface.
Tiffin Scenic Studios also produces:
House drapery
These drapes are found in the audience and can be used to decorate and conceal entryways or skirt the edge of a balcony.
Lambrequins
This ornate decorative drapery includes embellishments such as swags, jabots, fringe, medallions, tassels and roping.
Acoustical drapery
Our acoustical drapery controls sound vibrations and insulates the performance space.

Flame retardancy
