What Is Theatre Scrim?
White shark tooth theatre scrim material

Theatre scrim (also known as shark tooth scrim) has a unique optical property: when lit from the front, it appears opaque. When lit from behind, it becomes transparent, revealing what's behind it. This creates the classic theatrical reveal effect.

  • Front-lit: appears opaque (hides what's behind)
  • Back-lit: becomes transparent (reveals what's behind)
  • 100% polyester, suitable for outdoors
  • Marine-grade quality, made to get wet
  • Can seam panels for ANY size
The Scrim Effect

FRONT-LIT

Appears Opaque

When Lit From Front

Light hits the scrim from the audience side. The fabric reflects the light and appears solid/opaque. Anything behind the scrim is hidden from view.

BACK-LIT

Becomes Transparent

When Lit From Behind

Light comes from behind the scrim. The fabric becomes transparent, revealing actors, sets, or objects positioned behind it. Creates a dramatic reveal effect.

Sizing & Pricing

Theatre scrim is available in two roll widths. Order by the linear foot. Color does not affect price. Your cost is determined by how much we cut (length) from the particular roll you select.
