## Resource

Before audiences fall in love with a story, they fall into a world—one shaped by the unseen artistry that turns empty space into something alive. Set and production designer Paul Tate dePoo III has built a career shaping the physical environments that hold our favorite stories. From intimate stages to large-scale productions, his work lives at the intersection of architecture, storytelling, and psychology, where space itself becomes a character. In this episode, Paul reflects on how ideas move from sketch to stage, the collaborative nature of his work, and the responsibility designers carry in shaping how audiences experience a narrative. ----- LINKS: Tate Design Group: https://www.pauldepoo.com/ The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa The New York Public Library Photography Collection: https://www.nypl.org/locations/schwarzman/wallach-division/photography-collection
