On one end of the rectangular space is the “Play Wall,” a state-of-the-art digitally integrated storage wall with modular acting blocks, a mobile media panel and curtains, portable furnishings, and display cases showcasing a rotating selection of set models – a series of elements that can pop out, roll away, expand, collapse, illuminate and inspire.
