Swags and Digitals for the Eagles
Recently, both Sew What? and Rent What? had the opportunity to contribute custom stage drapery to The Eagles West Coast Tour, which opened on Monday in Portland, OR.
Production designer Butch Allen send us some rehearsals photos of our drapes on set – and I think they are just amazing! Take a look at these Silver Swags from Rent What? :

Also included in the rental package provided by Rent What? was a 24′ h x 50′ w backdrop, digitally printed by Sew What? to give the appearance of parchment (see the background in the photo above), as well as black masking pieces.
The tour also purchased a 24′ h x 24′ w custom digitally printed backdrop from Sew What? Printed on clear vinyl, the clock image is dramatic while still allowing a view of the parchment backdrop behind it (as above). Clever lighting in another scene makes the clock appear blue:

More clever lighting, and somehow the drapery looks completely different:

I can’t decide which of these three photos is my favorite; all three are just so beautiful. Butch has created a wonderful set design, and I am so proud that Sew What? and Rent What? were brought on board to bring Butch’s vision to life.
The show is in Seattle tonight, and then goes to Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles, before finishing up in San Diego on December 21st. So, if you happen to get to one of the shows – check out the drapery and let me know what you think!
