TABS
A problem which faces many amateur companies working on a small stage, is how to change the scenery behind a front cloth or tab without pulling the "Front Curtain" (Pulling a front curtain usually means the end of the show or denotes the interval). Buncranca solved this by making a Tab Curtain.
Tab Curtain
Terry writes ....A couple of girls, Lesley Ann McGrory (who teaches art in Londonderry Tech.) and Genevieve McGuiness, designed and painted this Curtain for use when scenery was being changed - they made it by the Batik method with wax and dye and they also added glitter which gave a great "showbiz glitz" effect.
