View some of our more recent theatre installations, and remember every drapery budget can be met with the right combination of fabric and style We have shipped our drapes to theatres not only nationally but internationally, providing both the draperies and the theatrical supplies needed including curtain track and hardware.

Special Events Portfolio

Grammy Awards, SAG Awards, Golden Globe Awards; you name them and we have draped them! Tents in tennis courts and 5 course dinners in stadiums - the special events industry is all about transformation. Watch while designers, such as Keith Greco transform the ordinary special event into the extraordinary.

While corporate America awards it's employees with incentive events, technology is displayed and demonstrated at national conventions. Custom trade show displays rely on the many effects that drapery can provide. Our in-stock inventory of pipe and drape has been an instant solution for many special event planners with a sudden on-site masking issue. Designers and special event planners alike can benefit from our services and fast turnarounds.

All these special event programs use fabrics and drapery in one form or another. Take a look at some of the many exciting programs and award shows that we have recently been a part of.

Rock and Roll Portfolio

America - the home of legendary rock bands and so many of todays pop stars. Madonna, Britney Spears, Don Henley, Sting; we have draped and masked stages for the best of them. While we tend to remember a concert in terms of the "set" and the "lighting and effects", the draperies play an often invisible but integral role in how the show comes together. Giant painted stage backdrops set the scene, masking hides tech areas from the crowd, borders dress the floating trusses to hide the lighting instruments, and skirting surrounds the stage and band risers. Soft goods, as they are known to the "roadies", are a major part of any touring set.

Sew What? Inc stocks hampers, curtain track, Production Supplies and more - all ready to ship out at a moments notice. Plus with staff and sewing machines that can travel to shows or rehearsals, production managers and road crew should definately keep our number on file for those on-site emergencies!

Enjoy these exciting images from the past few years and see if you can spot the soft goods at work!!
