Proscenium Draperies: Main Drape (a.k.a. Grand Drape, Front Drape) & Valance These drapes dress up the proscenium and hide the stage before revealing it to the audience. The main drape is an overlapping pair of drapes, which open to each side of the proscenium. The valance hides the track, and can be used to reduce the height of the proscenium opening. 2. Masking Draperies: "Blacks" Legs and Borders (a.k.a. tormentors and teasers), Mid Stage and/or Rear Stage Drapes Masking draperies hide off-stage areas and lighting equipment above the stage and function as stage dividers. They are usually black for maximum absorption of light, and they provide a neutral surrounding for the scenery and actors. Legs and borders are narrow and frame the stage. A mid-stage or rear-stage drape closes the stage across its full width.

Masking drapes are called "travelers" when they are hung from track. 3. Drops: Painted backdrops, Sky drops, Cycloramas Drops provide the stage with a sky-like vista or a painted scene. For more information on drops, see the Drapery section of the PNTA Dogalog. Most masking draperies are tied to pipe battens hung from the structure overhead. Main drapes, mid-stage drapes, and sometimes rear-stage drapes are hung from wheeled carriers, which ride on a track. If the carriers are rigged with an operating cord, the system is called a traveller or "cord-op." If there is no cord, the system is a "walk-draw." If you need consultation on installing new battens or track, give us a call. In order to choose the best track to fit your needs, tell us the following:If curved, what will the layout be like?By noting the height of your drapes and the weight of the fabric, we can determine how sturdy the track needs to be.Will the track be mounted directly to the ceiling, or to the back of the proscenium, or suspended from the ceiling structure?

"Cord Op" or "Walk Draw"? See above for more info. Drapes may be sewn as flat panels, but very often they have extra fabric, called fullness, which is sewn in as pleats. The more fabric, the larger the pleats, and the richer the look of the drape. The amount of fullness is expressed by the percentage of fabric that has been added to the finished width of the drape. Special Note: A drape sewn "flat" can still be given any degree of fullness by "pleating it on the pipe." This means folding in pleats as you tie the drape on the pipe. Velour, a velvet-like material, comes in a wide variety of colors. At nearly all performance spaces, the main drape and valance are made with velour. Often used for the onstage "blacks" (masking curtains), velour's heavy-pile weave and rich texture absorb light beautifully. Its ability to hang and drape well makes velour a theatrical favorite; it's available in several weights: For masking draperies there are several additional fabrics (all 100% cotton) to choose from:

Here are standard construction details, which ensure the function, durability and look of our drapes. The top of any drape is finished with webbing and with grommets spaced 12" apart. curtains and blinds bribie islandIf you are hanging from carriers in a track, we provide S-hooks. walmart curtain rod finialsIf you are tying to a pipe, we provide tie lines.made to measure curtains bishops stortford Any drape 8' high or taller will be chain-weighted, which adds weight so the fabric will hang nicely. blockout curtains perth waThe chain is placed inside a canvas pocket that is sewn into the bottom hem, clear of the bottom edge, so that it does not wear through from contact with the floor.

A 2" side hem is standard. The panels of the main drape may have a bigger side hem, known as a "turnback." The drape fabric is carried from the edge of the drape around the back 6, 12 or more inches. This keeps the audience from seeing the back of the fabric when the drape is in motion. Main Drape panels can be lined with denim to increase their durability. The amount of time needed to complete your particular project will depend on what fabric we have in stock, fabric mills, ship time and our stitch schedule. Sometimes, drops can be turned around in a few days and sometimes a large, colored velour job may take up to 12 weeks. If you plan on purchasing track and traveller rigging, please allow sufficient lead-time so we can include planning discussions and a potential site visit. The more lead time you give us, the better the price we can give you, so please plan ahead! Curtain Width: Measure the track or pipe from which the drapery will hang, or lay a steel measure along the floor under the pipe.

Note if the drapery panels overlap. Added Fullness: Measure the bottom edge of the drapery, and subtract the length of the track or pipe. Note if the drapery has sewn-in pleats, or is gathered on the pipe, or is hung flat. Curtain Height: Measure the existing drapery from its top edge to the bottom of the hem. Do not include carriers, hooks, or chains at the top of the drape. Other Info: If you can get to the top edge of the drape, count the number of grommets in each panel. Note whether the drape is attached with s-hooks, snap hooks, or ties. Also note whether you want the drape lined and whether it should be chain-weighted. Drapes over 8' high have a chain pocket and chain sewn into the hem to help the drape hang well. New Drapes: Follow a similar procedure to determine approximate widths. For approximate height when using existing track or pipes, measure from underside to floor and subtract 4" for track-mount or 2" for pipe-mount.Boston University's Charles River Campus is cancelling daytime and evening classes on Thursday, February 9, 2017 as of 6:00 AM.

Her family, including her parents Loren and Noanie Miller, and her grandparents Herman and Joane Miller, funded the renovation of two of the College’s third-floor studios at 855 Commonwealth Avenue to honor their late daughter’s love of the arts. The Miller Studio Theatres—which are outfitted with sprung dance floors, new lighting grids and equipment, black duvetyne curtains, and flexible seating risers—act as home to numerous classes and six productions each season, including the annual Theatre Arts Directors’ Project.

Juliane will be remembered as a strong, positive influence on the Class of 2008; an individual who loved every possible facet of theatre, stood up for what she believed in, and made every moment a little more enjoyable. Juliane Ethel Leilani Miller was born on December 12, 1985 in Kauai, Hawaii, on her mother’s birthday. When Juliane was three years old, the family relocated to the Bay Area in California, where Juliane was raised and became heavily involved with the local theatre community. It was during winter break of Juliane’s kindergarten year that her parents first took her to the Children’s Theatre in Palo Alto. She instantly fell in love with the stage.  She knew at that early age she wanted to be an actor, and her passion for the theatre was instantly born. Juliane had the opportunity to study at a variety of schools and training programs including the Menlo Park Academy of Dance, Menlo Atherton High School, the American Conservatory Theater, Stanford University School of Drama, and Palo Alto High School.
