Theater Textiles & Painted Stage Curtains

While decorative painting and gilding often define a theater’s visual impact, textiles and soft goods play an equally important role in shaping the character of historic interiors. These elements include painted fire curtains, scenic drops and advertising oleos, embroidered or appliqué draperies, scrims, acoustic fabrics, upholstered wall coverings, and carpets.

EverGreene frequently addresses the conservation of these materials, often involving aged fabrics, fragile paint layers, and, in some cases, hazardous materials like asbestos. When original textiles cannot be preserved in place, EverGreene develops sensitive solutions, including replication or simulation. The results are a cohesive interior where color, texture, acoustics, and safety work together to support both preservation and performance.
