Abstract
A staging system including curtains, for use particularly around a portable stage unit, which includes movable support towers. A base on each tower is arranged to interlock with an adjacent base for convenience in transporting and compact storage. Horizontal trusses are provided to intergage endwise and be supported on and between support towers. For operative use the trusses are supported on the top elements of the towers. For storage, trusses or tubular supports are mounted on side support elements of the adjacent towers. The trusses or tubular supports have rails or slots, respectively, for supporting stationary and movable curtains to enclose a stage unit.
