These productions are adorable original musical that tours through many educational institutes and theatres in rural and remote communities across the Southwest, playing over 150 performances to excited children. This is my second year working with Creede Repertory Theatre on these productions. As part of my duties for these productions I designed the 2 drops that are printed from elevation files I created using Adobe Photoshop.
Each of the K-6 students that sees this production, either in their school or in a theatre, will receive a book that tells the same story as the original musical they saw for them to take home with them. This original children's book is also illustrated by me to keep the styles all the same with the scenery and the pages of the book. Those illustrations are below.
