Black Curtains (Black Masking)

Black curtains (Black Drapery, Black Masking or Blacks), are a staple of the theatre. When used for blackout curtains, legs, borders, tabs, black box theatres, or arena reduction curtains, the intent is to absorb light and hide objects. Black curtains provide the lighting designer, scenic designer and projection designer an environment within which there are no distracting elements, other than the show itself. Black masking fabrics all have a matte finish so they won’t reflect light.
