Stage Backdrops to Impress your Audience!

March 24th, 2017

How can you transform your stage to WOW your audience? Selecting the perfect stage backdrops can make all the difference for your production! We went to St. Louis a few weeks ago to showcase our theatrical stage backdrops at USITT 2017! We had an incredible time delving deep into all aspects of Theater and Technology! Check out what we were up to below.

Garden Party - Stage Backdrops

We featured our fun Mad Hatters Tea Party inspired backdrop in the ‘Not So Central Park’ area of the USITT Expo. The Mini Golf stations, the small café, a myriad of benches, and light posts added to the exciting vibe of the area. Our colorful backdrop served as a great background for this park. With its landscape of colorful mushrooms and enchanted trees, this most beautiful whimsical garden brings a fairytale elegance to the scene. Our Alice in Wonderland series features magical and mystical forest with larger than life mushrooms, a fantastical castle courtyard, animated wonderland flowers, and a giant garden.

Umbrellas 4 Rain - Stage Backdrops

At our booth, we showcased our brand new Umbrellas 4 Rain backdrop. The large rain drops amongst the colorful umbrellas and soft cumulus clouds added a unique element to the background. It almost looks as if you are looking out of a rain-covered window to floating umbrellas in the distance.

Beach Boards 3 - Stage Backdrops

Our Beach Board Backdrop adorned the booth of our friends from ENTTEC. After discussing the beach theme of their booth, we designed and painted a brand new backdrop to meet their needs! It truly transformed their booth and added an extra WOW factor to engage the attendees!

Will you be at USITT 2018 in Ft. Lauderdale next year? We are always offering FREE passes to each show, so reach out to us if you want to be involved in this incredible show! What stage backdrops should we feature next year? We’d love to hear your feedback!

Spring Things! New Backdrops

May 16th, 2016

We are so excited for a few reasons. First, it’s Spring and what’s there not to love about Spring? Blooming flowers, beautiful weather, the countdown to summer. Second, our designers and artists have crafted some awesome backdrops during this lovely season. We’re ecstatic to share these with you. We know that these new backdrops will look stunning at your next event. We are looking forward to how these backdrops will enhance your production!

New Backdrop - Stage Magic 1B

You never know what’s going to come out of the magician’s hat in our brand new Stage Magic backdrop. Abracadabra! The doves, deck of cards, and whimsical smoke appears. Amidst the blue background and illuminated top hat, magic appears. The red drapes lined with gold adorn the stage and the magician’s hands guide the sorcery. Can you spot the two rabbits? After some looking, we definitely can. After all, traditional magic isn’t magic without rabbits coming out of a hat!

New Backdrop - pond 3 bridge

Our Pond 3 Bridge backdrop is the perfect Spring scene in a romantic, lush garden. The sun peaking through providing the perfect lighting within the background. This serene pond full of water lilies and surrounded by lush plants and beautiful flowers. The bridge provides the perfect access to walk over the pond into the deep edges of the garden. This new backdrop is completely romantic and utterly gorgeous.

New Backdrop - Stage Skyline3This Stage Skyline backdrop sets the Hollywood style stage with a stunning skyline. When you stand in the center of this new backdrop, the spotlight is directly on you. It’s an easy way to bring the Hollywood life to your next event. All of your attendees will get to live the red carpet life for the night. Act like a celebrity and strut your stuff in front of our vibrant backdrop.

We’re so excited about these new backdrops. We cannot wait to see how they transform your event, enhance your recital, or complete your production!

Backdrops @ USITT 2016!

March 26th, 2016

We traveled to Salt Lake City to be a part of one of our favorite theater trade shows, USITT. We loved meeting so many students with passionate aspirations and talented theater directors and stage managers. The heartbeat of the theater industry can be felt through the many USITT Sessions and, of course, on the stage expo floor.

USITT 2016 - Paris Opera House1 backdrop

For the backdrop showcase, we chose to highlight our Paris Opera House backdrop. It showcases the high-detail and intricate work of our designers and artists. This backdrop is truly a show stopper. We were so excited that our hand-painted backdrop was next to the Electronic Theatre Controls booth. We loved the student session ETC held, which educated those passionate about following their dreams of being in the theater industry. Check out the short video showcasing our backdrop on our Facebook page.

USITT 2016 - Haunted House 1 backdrop

Our Haunted House backdrop was an awesome theatrical background to feature at USITT. We had so much fun with featuring this backdrop. So many of the attendees could not believe that it was hand-painted. It is such an inviting, spooky, and colorful backdrop that instantly caught the eye of onlookers. We loved talking to so many lighting designers that provided such positive feedback on how their techniques could enhance our backdrop. It’s so fun to see how the different color lighting can completely transform the look of the backdrop. With one backdrop, you can create multiple different moods depending on the lighting and what is focused on.

USITT 2016 - Haunted House 1 backdrop

We may have even gotten a little silly in front our our backdrop with OSF Costume Rentals. Check out how fabulous their seriously awesome costumes look in front of our hand-painted background.

It was an amazing experience to be surrounded by the best in the theater industry. We’re already looking forward to next year’s USITT show.

February’s New Backdrops!

February 17th, 2016

Here are our featured new backdrops for the month of February! We’re super excited to show you these hand-painted backdrops. Our designers and artists have put all of their talent and effort into making these awesome backdrops.

New Backdrop - Street Mall 1Our Street Mall backdrop is a highly detailed depiction of unique architecture. This hand-painted backdrop invites you to walk along the sidewalk between the buildings to venture to see what other buildings are around the corner. The inspiration for this backdrop is the iconic Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. Rodeo Drive is a major shopping and tourist destination. This backdrop sets the ideal scene for a Los Angeles themed event as it makes you feel that you are in one of the most famous places in California.

New Backdrop - Stage Showgirls 5This vibrant backdrop is sure to catch the eyes of all of your attendees. Our Stage Showgirls 5 backdrop sets the stage with the vivid colors and the extensive detail. This backdrop features silhouettes of showgirls and palm trees amidst a bright sunset with fireworks, green palm leaves, and market lights along the top. The purple stairs of the stage are the perfect complement to the the blue sea in the background, complete with ripples in the water. This background can easily transform your event to a vibrant affair.

New Backdrop - Mansion View 17 Drapes

Imagine you’re inside a warm, cozy mansion adorned with beautiful red drapes looking out on a snow covered village. That’s the feeling you get when experiencing our newly painted Mansion View Backdrop. The pine trees are covered in freshly fallen snow and the houses in the village are warmly lit. This backdrop creates a majestic and elegant atmosphere for your dance recital, special event, or theatrical production.

New Backdrop - Chalkboard 1

Our Chalkboard backdrop will literally take you back to your school days. I challenge you to try to tell the difference between this new backdrop and a real chalkboard. The smudges of chalk beneath the math equations create an authentic classroom experience. No matter where you go, you can create a classroom with this new backdrop.

Our BOO-tiful Halloween Backdrops!

September 30th, 2015

We cannot believe that it’s almost October! Of course, that means Fall, cooler weather, and Halloween just around the corner! No matter how you celebrate Halloween, there’s always a hand-painted backdrop that can completely transform your experience.

halloween - haunted house1 - 10x10 i

Are you having a party to celebrate the festivities and you want just the right background for your pictures of the event? If so, you’re in luck! We have many 10 ft x 10 ft backdrops that can cater to your spooky Halloween night. My favorites include the steamy Cauldron in the moonlight, our mysterious Haunted House, our eerie graveyard that will send chills down your spine, and our Wicked Moon backdrop complete with a witch riding her broomstick.

halloween haunted courtyard 1 backdrop

Maybe you want to wrap the room in Halloween backdrops to create an immersive experience for your friends, guests, or customers. In this case, a larger backdrop would satisfy your needs and provide the haunted experience of a lifetime. Our spooky haunted courtyard backdrop can provide the feeling of being lost in an eerie cemetery only to find barren trees, a full moon, and vivid lightning striking down.  I don’t know about you, but I would be pretty afraid to walk through that gate above. This inescapable feeling is immediately brought to your event.

Medieval Castle Interior 4 - Halloween - 40x20 i

Looking to create an upscale experience through a highly sought after event, Halloween gala, or haunted midnight affair? Our Medieval Castle Interior backdrop provides the mysterious and ghostly experience, while inviting you in to walk on the red carpet. The night sky beaming in through the windows atop of the mansion complements the dimly lit interior. The stone interior provides a cold contrast to the warm yellow lights and carpeting throughout the middle of the backdrop. This is a perfect backdrop to transform the interior of any space and provides an amazing depth perception to the eye!

oktoberfest5 - 40x20 i

Prefer Oktoberfest as your event of choice instead of Halloween? We can’t blame you, especially when this festival is focused around beer, quality time with friends, and good food! Looking forward to all of the October festivities!

graffiti7 - 20x10 iThis Graffiti backdrop was inspired by our love for street art and the dynamic sport of skateboarding. This backdrop offers so many vibrant colors and an array of different images that creates a seamless and unique design. This was a custom rental that we designed together with a customer for a Bar Mitzvah to celebrate his love for skateboarding and passion for street art. What person that loves skateboarding wouldn’t want this at their event or party? This backdrop creates a fun and playful atmosphere and looks wonderful as a background in pictures, video, and in person!
