Chad-Alan Carr
Gettysburg Community Theatre

We have used you guys once before for backdrops and the quality is exceptional, this time was no different. It really takes our productions to the next level visually without having to use a bunch of clunky onstage props that take up space our dancers need! I can't tell you how beautiful the backdrops were. In addition to themed backdrops for our ballet (Cinderella) we used one of the abstract drops and even thoughit was blue with different gels we were able to get an incredible range of colors which would show people how versatile they are.

In short we couldn't be happier.

Thank you again for such amazing service.

Rachel Strong
Strong Dance Studios

We loved the backdrop! It added such an amazing element to our set - the depth provided by the artwork added such an awesome dimension and really made it all pop.

Thank you for all you have done for us!

We were very pleased with the backdrop. Thanks to you and the team for helping us rent the backdrop on such short notice. Our Big Blue and You exhibit was a hit at the USA Science & Engineering Festival. There were 370,000 people who attended!
With Gratitude,

Big Blue and You

I was very pleased with everything TheatreWorld offered. Shipment was fast and return shipping was very easy! The backdrop was beautiful and it was the perfect size for our stage. It really added something extra to our productions of "Seussical".

Evan Arceneaux
Atonement Lutheran Church and School

Thebackdrop was absolutely beautiful! It was the backbone of our entire set. We will certainly use TheatreWorld again in the future. You have been easy to work with and your product exceeded our expectations. I will recommend your products to the other theater groups in the area.
Thank you!

Maria Duva
Middletown High School Drama (MD)

We were so pleased with the scenery and received MANY compliments on the quality and artisanship of the backdrops. I believe both the town and the castle backdrops added great value to our "Beauty and the Beast" themed recital. By using them, we were able to transport our audience into 18th century France. Thanks again!

Kathleen Canoles
Loch Raven Dance Troupe

Wonderful! Everyone was thrilled to have a professional backdrop for the show...the first for us but definitely not the last now that we have found TheaterWorld!

Tiffany Russell
Mountain Brook Junior High School

We wanted to thank TheatreWorld Backdrops again. The backdrop was a huge success for our production of Footloose and received many compliments from our community, as well as adding a lot to our production. Hope to work with you again in the future.

We absolutely loved the backdrops and received many compliments on how great they looked! They transformed the show in such an amazing way! I can't thank you all enough for your excellent customer service and making the process so easy! Thank you again!

The backdrop REALLY enhanced our show tremendously! I’ve sent pictures and EVERY picture just really POPPED with this gorgeous backdrop.

Franchone Bey
West Charlotte H.S.

The drops elevated our show in ways you can't even imagine. People talked about them nonstop. We are the only theatre company in the area who can afford 6-8 drops and yours are so beautiful.... you help us really stand out!!

Dave Morgan
Bradley Bourbonnais Community High School

I have been teaching ballet and choreographing story ballets for the past 24 years. To date this backdrop was the most beautiful backdrop I have EVER had helping to lend a realistic and fantasy grace to the ballets being presented.

The most important… my dancers. My kids, my youth ballet were thrilled and dance with additional inspiration. They no longer had to imagine being in a magical woodland, this backdrop placed them there.

I simply can’t thank you enough for the professional look this amazing drop gave to our ballet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Every scene was enhanced, every dancer inspired. As for me, the countless hours of splicing music, choreography, rehearsals, making of props, making and/or enhancing costumes (including fairy wings!) headpieces, make up … well to put it simply, it all came to life when this magic forest backdrop welcomed us in.

Poppy Dinse

[The backdrop] worked extremely well and you and your company were extremely helpful in our first foray into renting backdrops for our musicals.

Todd Young
Five Sigma Lighting, Inc

This was the first time we used TheatreWorld and we were so impressed. The backdrop was beautiful and vibrant. I was pleased that the colors matched your photo on-line - which is not always the case with some companies we have worked with. It was wonderful to put up the drop and have it match the colors we chose to paint the rest of our set. We got so many compliments on the backdrop and how beautiful it was.

I was impressed with the timely delivery (a few days early even!), the scheduled pick up, and the confirmation that you received it back.

We will be using you again in the future. Thanks for a great experience.

Rebekah Kellaway
Haven Academy of the Arts

Thank you to all of the good folks at Theatre World Backdrops for stopping what you were doing to get UMS-Wright Middle School a backdrop within 24 hours.

We will use your company again, and I assure you that I will recommend Theatre World Backdrops to others!

The rental experience was wonderful - thanks for sending it the weekend before so that we had time to hang it the Friday evening before we got into tech week. Thanks for making it easy to rent a quality backdrop! :)

Marla Blasko
Long Reach High School

We just finished a run of "Beauty and the Beast" and we rented a village scene from you. We have been renting backdrops for 12 years and have never seen anything even close to the amazing quality, vibrance, and obvious love and care that went into this scene. It was obviously brand new and just gorgeous. For the entire week everyone who walked near it, starting with our very talented art director, all came to me and said, "This backdrop is amazing, even from a foot away, the detail the shading, just amazing..." Thanks again. can't wait till next year!

Donald Davidson, Scenic Designer
North Merrick Drama Productions and HDH Davidson Productions

I rarely rent drops because they're so expensive. In the past 11 years I've only rented twice. But both times I rented, I had search high and low on-line for the best drops for the best price, and both times were from TheatreWorld. They are visually spectacular!

Dan Reisdorf

Thank you so much for providing an absolutely beautiful backdrop for our recent production of Into the Woods! It worked perfectly and definitely enhanced our production immensely. Thank you once again. We look forward to doing business with you in the future!

Brad D. Kepler
Casa Grande Union High School

Thanks so much for such a BEAUTIFUL product. The audience gasped when the curtain went up. I should get photos from the photographer tomorrow—I’ll send some your way. It was just so fabulous looking with all of our costumes in front! Complete eye candy! Thanks so much—you and your company are a pleasure to do business with.

Heather Burgess

Thank you so much for your beautiful backdrops. I love working with you, you are so accommodating and efficient. Just with our few phone calls I feel we are friends.

The backdrops are beautiful! We hung the Baroque Abbey last night and rehearsed in front of it. The cast could not stop remarking about how fantastic it looked. You people are wonderful and having the backdrop a day before we even thought it would get here was marvelous. The quality is superb... others that we have rented from have been "flimsy". This drop just hangs so well. Thanks so much!

It is such a thrill to be collaborating with TheatreWorld Backdrops on all of our musical theatre workshops this summer. For 25 years, Stages Productions has used a variety of backdrop and set design companies, but quite frankly, we have been disappointed with the quality of their products. TheatreWorld offers vibrant, eye-popping designs that definitely “wow” our audiences! Their professional staff is courteous, knowledgeable, and extremely fair with their pricing options. Plus, we are getting custom designed backdrops that will let our students and audiences know that we are serious about presenting top quality entertainment. Honestly, why would you call anyone else? Stages Productions plans on using TheatreWorld Backdrop’s products for years to come; both for our professional touring company as well as our summer workshops.

Rick D’Onofrio, Artistic Director
Stages Productions, Seminole, FL

The backdrops for the event looked great! The really came alive with lighting. We look forward to working with you on another event. Thanks again.

Nikol Faverman, Owner
Nikoletta Events, Brooklyn, NY

The drop was gorgeous and so well executed! It made our JEKYLL & HYDE set pieces pop and added so much wonderful atmosphere to our show! We would never have been able to have the impact without it!

Chuck Stowe, Director of Theatre Arts
South Point High School, Belmont, NC

Thanks to Mike, Skip and TheatreWorld for the amazing backdrop you created for our event. It was a very significant element in the overall success of the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Tampa Bay Business Hall of Fame. We are most appreciative of the extraordinary effort you made to turn this around in a very short time. TheatreWorld is to be commended not only for your timely and creative production but also for supporting your community and the Florida Council on Economic Education’s mission of preparing Florida’s young people for personal and financial success through economic education and financial literacy.

Robin Warren, Executive Director
Florida Council On Economic Education, Tampa, FL

Michele, I really have to thank you and Skip for all your help. I wish more theatrical companies were more like TheatreWorld. The backdrop was amazing! The show was a huge hit and sold out three nights! I'm just glad I stumbled upon you. I think it was Divine Intervention. Thanks again for having such beautiful scenery! Give Skip a big hug for me and let him give you a big hug from me to you too! Stay well and I am truly looking forward to working with you next year. Thanks again for everything!
