Painting
Our stage floor will be cleaned and ready upon your arrival. Clients can request a fresh coat of white paint up to 48 hours before their rental for a $150 fee.
The Cyc floor and walls must be returned in the same condition in which they were rented. Renters are responsible for the labor and materials to return the stage back to clean white per Studio's discretion.
The Cyc may be painted a color other than white for a fee of $500 + the cost of paint and supplies. This includes necessary prep, paint, and dry time before and after the rental period to restore the stage to white. All painting must be done by Mainstage staff.
All other painting requests will be discussed on a case by case basis.
