Put on the Performance of a Lifetime With the Help of Black Stage Curtains

The show must go on, but what good is a show without the proper presentation? Where there's a stage, there must be a stage curtain. Hang a black stage curtain where you or others are planning to perform to give your shows a great sense of atmosphere and professionalism you can only get from authentic materials like this.

There are a few different materials black stage curtains are typically made from. The industry standard is velour, a type of thick, plush fabric that makes it difficult for light to pass through. Some curtains might also be made from silk or cotton. Regardless of its base fabric, though, many theater curtains are in some way fire-resistant, either through the use of a sophisticated synthetic material integrated into another or by using something like a lead lining. Regardless of the type of curtain you're looking for, there's a myriad of choices to select from on eBay.

There are several reasons for why stage curtains tend to be black, ranging from aesthetics to tradition. In the end, however, stage curtains must be black or another dark color to properly fulfill their duty of concealing the backstage area from the audience. The darker the fabric is colored, the more light it can absorb, making it more efficient at its job. While exceptions are made when using specialized light-reflecting fabrics, the vast majority remain black due to convenience and utility.

There are several different types of stage curtains available on eBay that are used in the production of plays and other theatrical performances. Each curtain serves a different purpose, though all are used as a means of obscuring the backstage area from being seen clearly. A few of these different stage curtains include the following:

• Front curtain: The front curtains or house curtains are the largest curtains in a stage, opened and closed to reveal or conceal (respectively) the whole stage to the audience.
• Legs: These tall, thin curtains cover the different wings on each side of the stage.
• Scrims: This is a specialized type of fabric used during productions. From one side, it appears completely opaque even when lit by a light but from the other can be seen through when a light is present.
• Borders: Borders run the width of the stage and help to cover up things like lights that illuminate the stage itself.
