10. Do these screens come in, say, two-foot widths?

What would be pretty cool is to hang strips of these screens touching edge-to-edge from your lighting grid. That way, if someone needs to cross between the performance space on the stage and the backstage area quickly, they can go through the screen rather than around it. The whole array would need to be driven by a controller box so...maybe a tower rather than a laptop for driving this, but there should be no reason you couldn't do production design on the laptop and transfer it over.
