I am the Tech Director of NEO Production's version of tick, tick...BOOM! and our set designer has requested four screens (1.5m width 2.5m high) made out of what he calls "material that when you back light it it becomes almost transparent, and when you front light it it is almost opaque," which is what I call "scrim."
