Design was chosen by a public panel to be reproduced large-scale semi-permanent mural, approximately 10 feet wide by 20 feet tall, to be installed on the side of Old Town Playhouse, a performing arts venue in downtown Traverse City, Michigan.

Elements in the composition were chosen and arranged based on their symbolism and usage in several different plays and musicals.
