- The Cat in the Hat Mobile built almost entirely in one day by Dylan Pecora , Killian T. Brown, Jon Giancola, Fred DiMeglio, Brenda Brolly, and Kelsey Roy.
- Green Eggs & Ham built in one day by Steffie.
- And a sofa with a roll down window built by Dylan Pecora, Fred DiMeglio and Jon Giancola.
- On set Michael Latini and Marc made the Seussy watering can and Fireball Bandolier!
Whew! We had a blast!!!

Our Social Media has been quiet, but we have been busy! SNL is back, and we were tasked with what has become one of our favorite 2 day builds ever! Thoraxis the dragon for Dakota Johnson's episode of Saturday Night Live! Puppeteered by Marc and Michael Latini!

With twenty years of experience, we've built almost anything you can think of! Luckily we already had a dragon pattern. Our team began work on Thursday morning and had this bad boy finished by midnight on Friday!
Thanks to our fantastic fabricators!

and to those who helped create the original dragon pattern, Caitlin Peck and Dan Cook!
Big thanks to the team at SNL who created the smoke effects and helped get the beast ready for his debut!
