My college produced it my freshman year and a fiber optic curtain would have been a bit much for our approach. If the concept for your production is more of a cartoony feel then it might work. To hang it and plug it in just because you have it isn't the best idea. For our production we had a 2 story set and a lot of time was spent by everyone to make it look as realistic as possible for a pre 1940s
house. Lots of practicals and working outlets.
