I. Weiss is currently working with Schuler Shook consultants on the renovation of the David H. Koch Theater, home of New York City Ballet and New York City Opera at Lincoln Center. The project includes new motorized rigging, a fire curtain, and pit lift, and is to be completed in time for the 2009/2010 season.

I. Weiss provided soft goods for the following shows:
Broadway:
- 33 Variations
- Impressionism
- Rock of Ages
- Exit the King
- Waiting for Godot

National Shows:
- Minsky's, Los Angeles
- Lion King, Las Vegas
- Peep Show, Las Vegas

In cooperation with Showman Fabricators I. Weiss provided soft goods for the recent revival of 'The American Plan' on Broadway, including five full stage printed panels, four made of Trevira Gauze, one of cotton muslin.
Before the panels were printed we worked with the design team on samples to determine the right balance between the desired fullness and the intended images. Most images were stretched approximately 120% to achieve the correct look. I. Weiss also fabricated a Damask Traveler Curtain and all soft masking.
