For our basic set design and most scenes, the interior of the Smith family home takes up about half the stage width (almost 20'). The other half (closer to 15') of the stage serves as the exterior (Gilded Age front yard/neighborhood).
Two current possibilities:
1. Backdrop rental/purchase: looking for a good source for MMSL-related scenes:
2. Scrim and rear projection: This was the original idea, but due to lack of space behind the scrim (8'), we can't find an easy/inexpensive way to expand the width of the projection.
Sources for backdrops (although we've checked a few, like backdrops.us) or other ideas would be appreciated.

Victorian/Gilded Age front yard in suburban St. Louis (15 x 15)
Ballroom of the era (15 x 30)
Christmas Eve/snow scene; the "snow people" are being constructed (15 x 15)
World's Fair??
