At Backdrops by Charles H. Stewart all of our backdrops are numbered and organized by show and category, making it easy for our customers to find the right background for their play, musical, theatrical performance, awards ceremony, or dance recital. Sorting by show, theme, color, decade, and design is easier than ever on our site.
One popular category for recitals, plays, and musicals is the Seasons backdrops, as they allow for a simple way to show the passage of time or put the audience in the frame of mind of the time of year, including foliage, temperature, and general climate. Check out our fall, winter, spring, and summer options for your next performance.
The Four Seasons
Not only do the seasons—fall, winter, spring, and summer—show the passage of time during theatrical productions, but they are often used to symbolize the cyclical nature of life (birth to death), mirroring the natural cycles of growth, abundance, decay, and renewal.
Each season can also be associated with different life stages and emotional experiences, reflecting a journey from beginning to end and back again. Here are some of our favorite seasonal backgrounds that can help portray these aspects during your performance.
Fall
Autumn or fall is a colorful time of year with changing leaf color on full display. It can symbolize the slow decline in the action of a performance or show that a life cycle is coming to an end.
This Autumn Tab Backdrop shows the colorful changing of leaves that accompany this change in weather.
This Fall Landscape Backdrop shows a similar backdrop of an older tree glowing orange in the sunlight.
Winter
Winter is often associated with cold, snow and hibernation. Images of snowy fields, snow capped mountains, and tree boughs frosted with ice make for a lovely backdrop for any show focused on this season or theme.
This Winter Tab Backdrop shows a brilliant winter sun shining down on snowy grounds, trees and landscape.
This Snow Forest Backdrop depicts a similar scene in that it offers snow-tipped trees, a snowy landscape and a full moon backed by a midnight sky.
Spring
Spring means blooming flowers, warming temps and a rebirth with hibernating creatures emerging for the season.
This Spring Flowers Tab Backdrop shows beautiful pink and white blooms, showing the oncoming spring.
This Park Backdrop shows the budding trees in a park with a serene walkway and green grass.
Summer
Summer represents the peak of energy and growth before the world begins its cycle back to fall and winter.
This Tropical Beach Backdrop depicts a warm beach scene with palm trees, warm waters and a sun-drenched beach.
This Garden Backdrop shows summer in all its glory with fully blooming flowers, greening bushes and beautiful blue skies.
