No, it just open floor.  No curtains.  It has some grated catwalks with 
lighting attachments.

Also, per NFPA 140:

Combustible drapes, drops, and any other similar large combustible material 
hanging or vertically placed combustible material shall be maintained in flame 
retardant condition.

Cut greens shall be treated with an approved or listed fire retardant and the 
process repeated as often as necessary to maintain its effectiveness.

Foamed plastic materials used for decorative purposes, scenery, sets, or props 
shall have a maximum heat release rate of 100 kW where tested IAW UL 1975.
