yes, it's a bigger doll house (deep in the back).

here's what theaterdiva was talking about...

the temper temper dollhouse stumps alot of people, but the actor actually comes up a ladder into the house and out through the front, so he never actually has to fit his whole self in the house

juice 23:
"Actually the carpet bag is done w/o mirrors... the bottom of the bag has a long opening in it, and the table obviously has a hole in it... everything that comes out comes out from an angle from the toy chest behind the table... not directly up ... which is why the bottom of the lamp is crooked until she puts it on the ground."

Sort of true, but actually also does use mirrors to hide some open area under the table. I sat on the aisle (yesterday) only a few rows from the stage, directly facing the effect. I checked the view under the table. There is a counting board with colored beads leaning against the wall. During the effect, the right half of the board is a mirror image of the left side (same colors, same placement and spacing of beads) -- clearly a mirror image.
Later views (in later scenes) showed the whole board with randomly different colored beads, etc.


p.s. Loved the show, but I'd sure like to start a boycott of those noisy Skittles packages.
