 Curtain Safety Janet Wright

Safety in the theatre is a big deal since it can be very dangerous. Some people thing you are just lowering or raising a curtain but there is much more to that. There are many types of curtains but most of them have the same rules. I will tell you a bit of the basics on what to do and hopefully you will learn so when someone asks you what to do you won't have a akward moment when you can't answer. 1. Lower curtains slowly because if you don't someone could be walking and get hit by the curtain. 2. Make sure no one is there while lowering curtains. 3. When someone is lowering a curtain make sure you aren't running around the stage. 4. When lowering or raising curtain alert people that the curtain is being lowered. 5. When lowering or raising curtains be sure to have a good grip on the ropes so that curtains don't fall too fast or when raising letting go and curtain falling.

Some theatres use a safety curtain. the definition of a safety curtain is- a fire proof curtain that can be lowered to seperate the auditriom from the stage in the theatre to prevent the spread of fire. safety] curtain
