Looking to create a little drama on your stage in the form of a medieval castle? Backdrops by Charles H. Stewart has you covered from drawbridges to turrets and from throne rooms to dungeons. Are you putting on a production of a fairytale like Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella or the Wizard of Oz? Or, perhaps you’re creating the legendary world of King Arthur and the Knights at the Round Table, as seen in productions of Camelot. No matter what type of kingdom, we have a comprehensive inventory of backdrops suitable for a king. 

What Does a Castle Portray to an Audience? 

Historically, castles have been a common theme in fairy tales and fantasy storylines across plays and musicals. They symbolize a wide array of emotions and elements to an audience, from the regal power and ultimate authority of a monarch to the fanciful romance of a fairytale where every ending is happy. Castles can also be seen as large and grand, with a note of opulence and power in the towering turrets and unbreakable stone walls. Or they can evoke the fading glory of a kingdom if the castle is crumbling. Castles can portray an air of wealth and time-honored lineage or a gothic foreboding should a scene with a dungeon or alligator-filled moat be needed for a performance. 

Enchant your audience or set the stage for a kingdom-sized power struggle with one of our nearly 50 castle-themed backdrops.

One-of-a-Kind Castles & Palaces 

Some productions featuring castles or palaces require a unique look that matches the production’s theme. For instance, Frozen, the Musical, would not be complete without the iconic ice castle where Elsa takes shelter as she runs from herself. Or the famous castle in the Wizard of Oz, where the great and powerful Oz controls the show and is discovered as a fraud. 

This Emerald City Backdrop depicts the iconic Land of Oz with the yellow brick road winding through poppy fields up to Emerald City!
