I rent a lot from http://grosh.com and http://tobinslake.com. If you need an interior mansion set around Christmas, you need to order WAY in advance, as most are rented for "Nutcracker" productions.

You can also try fclo.org, which is an OC light opera company that rents their backdrops.

Depending on how much you are wanting to spend...Grosh.com is a great place to find backdrop rentals. Many of them you get for a week and they run around 250.00-350.00 dollars. That may seem high, but compared to Fantastic Designs or some of the other ones out there it is pretty reasonable. We have used them a few times and I must say they are fabulous. Some are exact replica's of the ones on broadway.

Oh,

I'm sorry! I'm new to the forum, and didn't realize posts were not in order of date.

No problem... It happens all the time. And the information is still good to know. It just cracks me up when I see a post come up that I started and don't remember!

I've rented many many many drops in my years of theatre design..and the two best companies to deal with are Grosh, and Tobins Lake..best prices on rentals and shipping. Next in line would be Kenmark.

Lastly, I've never rented from stage-productions out of Chicago..but have purchased their Chameleon Cloth (similar to scrim) and I like it alot for being able to keep a shape and easily paintable with a spray gun.
