I would recommend organdy for a toy theater. I have used it on my punch and
judy stage and, if light from the front or used outdoors, appears completely
opaque. However, it is an open weave fabric and the puppeteer can see
through. I believe it comes in various weights, and is often used as
decorative material on hats. It should be available at your local fabric
store.

The resaon for organdy over scrim? Scrim has a very coarse weave with huge
pores and is more useful for large theatrical productions. I  don't think it
would work well in a puppet theater application.
