One of the high schools that I TD for is doing a production of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and as an important part of the scenic design the designer and director want to use a true tab curtain. The idea being to 'reveal' only one side of the stage at a time or being able to 'reveal' the whole stage when needed. I have searched the web for rental curtains but either no one knows really what a tab or tableau curtain really is or they just don't have any. Ideally we wanted a shimmery fabric but velour might work too. My question is really twofold: Does anyone know where I could rent one? and Would there be an easy way to rig a rented panel to operate like a tab? In other words are there clips or clamps that one could use to attach temporary rings to the back of a drape? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The budget for this project is about $500 so purchase is out of the ballpark. I got two purchase quotes from sew-what? and rosebrand and both were over $1300. Thanks again for any input or ideas.
