There is a contrast between the cold, dark castle of the Evil Stepmother and the warm, welcoming home of the dwarves. The forest serves as the transition between both, it is both cold and warm, it is mysterious and unknown. The set extends into the house, allowing the children who attend the production to feel like they are a part of the story, as well. The playing space is very shallow, so each set piece is designed to be able to be utilized in different ways, taking up as little room as possible so that the actors can use as much space as they need to tell the story, with all of its fights, dancing, and excitement, in an engaging way.
