Carolina Theatre, Charlotte, NC

As part of the historic restoration of the iconic Carolina Theatre in downtown Charlotte, IWEISS was selected to provide and install a complete theatrical drapery package that honored the venue’s architectural heritage while meeting the demands of a modern performance space.

The centerpiece of the project was a new custom-crafted Main Curtain designed to reflect the grandeur and elegance of the theatre’s original design. The curtain featured meticulously fabricated decorative trimmings, including hand-applied beading and custom ornamental detailing that recreated the richness and craftsmanship characteristic of historic theatres. Complementing the main curtain, IWEISS also fabricated a decorative swag valance mounted on a newly engineered support frame, providing a dramatic and historically appropriate focal point for the proscenium.

Beyond the ornamental front curtain package, IWEISS supplied and installed front-of-house decorative drapery, a complete black stage masking system, full stage scrim, and cyclorama.

From fabrication through installation, every element was carefully coordinated to support the Carolina Theatre’s transformation into a revitalized cultural landmark.
