We're in preparation for our high school musical, Seussical, and one of our wonderfully dedicated but misguided parent volunteers had been given instructions by our scenic designer to cut up an old black border curtain we had that was no longer flame retardant (we had since replaced all of our soft goods with new curtains). No big deal, right? Apparently, he (scenic designer and art teacher) had left the scene shop for a bit, and when he came back, found out that the volunteer had mistakingly cut up our black scrim.
I had planned to use the scrim for the show and hadn't gotten it hung yet, so that's issue number one. However, since we'll be able to purchase a new scrim now, I'm wondering whether I should go black or white. While black would seem to hide stage changes/reveals better, white would have value in being used as almost a second cyc further DS and could be a good projection surface or better colored. I'll definitely be spec'ing seamless with a chain pocket regardless.
Thoughts? Edited to add: we do have a seamless white cyc already.
