Custom Stage Curtains for Schools and Theaters
A stage curtain should support daily use, complement the room, and operate safely for students, staff, performers, and guests. Drapery Industries manufactures custom stage curtains for schools, universities, churches, theaters, and convention centers. Each curtain system can be planned around the size of the stage, the way the space is used, and the appearance the organization wants to create.
Drapery Industries offers options that include travelers, borders, cycloramas, backdrop curtains, and manual or motorized operation. Fabrics are available in multiple weights and finishes, including inherently flame-retardant velour designed for demanding public and institutional environments.
Choosing Theater Curtains, Tracks, and Rigging
The curtain fabric is only one part of a dependable stage system. Tracks, rigging, piping, ropes, and operating components should also be evaluated before a new curtain is ordered. Our experienced team can identify worn or unsafe parts, recommend the right configuration, and help prevent operating problems after installation.
Drapery Industries manages the process from measurement and manufacturing through professional stage curtain installation. This provides one point of contact and helps ensure that the curtain, track, and rigging work together properly.

Are Drapery Industries’ stage curtains manufactured locally?
Yes. Drapery Industries manufactures custom stage curtains at its facility in Rochester, New York. The curtains are not simply ordered from another manufacturer and resold. Drapery Industries’ own team cuts, sews, assembles, and prepares each curtain system for the specific stage where it will be installed.
Local manufacturing provides greater control over the curtain’s dimensions, fabric, construction, appearance, and overall quality. It also allows schools, universities, theaters, churches, and convention centers to work with one company from the initial measurement through the completed stage curtain installation.
Are your theater and stage curtains flame retardant?
Drapery Industries offers stage curtains made from inherently flame-retardant, or IFR, fabrics. Available options include heavyweight, medium-weight, and lightweight IFR velour selected for theatrical, school, auditorium, and public-assembly applications.
Because flame resistance is built into the fibers of inherently flame-retardant fabric, it does not depend solely on a surface treatment applied after the material is manufactured. Drapery Industries can help facility managers, architects, and contractors compare appropriate fabrics for the stage, project requirements, expected use, and desired appearance.
Can you make existing stage curtain fabric flame retardant?
No. Drapery Industries does not take existing stage curtains or customer-supplied fabric and apply a flame-retardant treatment to it. Instead, new custom stage curtains are manufactured using fabrics that are already inherently flame retardant.
Organizations replacing older theater curtains should discuss their safety requirements, fabric preferences, specifications, and facility conditions during the quoting process. Drapery Industries can then recommend an appropriate IFR stage curtain fabric for the new system.
Does Drapery Industries measure and install custom stage curtains?
Yes. Drapery Industries provides professional measuring and stage curtain installation for the projects it serves. A salesperson visits the school, university, church, theater, or performance facility to evaluate the stage and take the necessary measurements.
After the custom stage curtains are manufactured in Rochester, Drapery Industries’ own trained and insured employees complete the installation. The company does not outsource stage curtain installation to subcontractors. This coordinated process helps ensure that the curtains, tracks, rigging, ropes, and operating components work together correctly.
Can you replace an existing school or auditorium stage curtain?
Drapery Industries can evaluate an existing stage curtain system and help determine what should be replaced or updated. This may include the main traveler curtain, borders, backdrop curtains, cycloramas, stage curtain tracks, ropes, rigging, or operating hardware.
An on-site evaluation is especially important for older school auditorium curtains because the existing opening, track condition, installation method, and operating system can affect the replacement plan. Drapery Industries can measure the stage and recommend a custom curtain system based on how the auditorium or performance space is used.
What types of stage curtains and operating systems are available?
Custom stage curtain systems can include travelers, borders, cycloramas, backdrop curtains, and other theatrical drapery components. Drapery Industries also offers multiple rigging and operating options, including cord-drawn, walk-along, manual, and motorized stage curtain systems.
The appropriate configuration depends on the size and layout of the stage, the types of productions held in the space, the available rigging, and how frequently the curtains will be operated. Drapery Industries can help schools, theaters, universities, churches, and convention centers select a practical system for their facility.
Does Drapery Industries clean or launder stage curtains?
No. Drapery Industries does not provide stage curtain laundering, dry cleaning, or fabric restoration services. The company focuses on manufacturing and installing new custom stage curtains and related curtain systems.
Facility managers should follow the appropriate maintenance and cleaning instructions for the specific curtain fabric. Before attempting to clean an auditorium or theater curtain, confirm the fabric type and recommended care process. Improper cleaning can damage the material, affect its appearance, or create questions about its flame-retardant properties. Drapery Industries can provide relevant maintenance information for the fabrics used in a new curtain system.
