Dr. Seuss books were always a big part of my childhood and I turned to them to be my guide as I began the design process. I spent hours in my local library, pouring over the books and making notes about what images struck me. I made myself think like a kid, picking out the characters and images that I know I would get excited to see on the walls as I stepped into the theatre. The one thing I knew for certain was that I didn’t just want a wall of characters, I wanted to create a world. As I looked at these pictures, I kept noting how much I loved Seuss’s landscapes, they were all so playful and free-flowing, never taking too much attention from the focus of the page but instead elevated the world the characters lived in. That was exactly how I wanted these walls to be, so I decided to create a continuous landscape that would flow from story to story and surround the audience in the world of Seuss.
