Description

The Pajama Game needed a world that could move as fast as the score. At UC Irvine, bold signage and shifting factory elements framed the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, giving the stage a clear graphic identity and room for dance.

The story balances romance with a labor dispute, so the world had to support both pleasure and pressure. Repeating structures, workplace signage, and a vibrant period palette suggested postwar optimism while keeping the conflict over wages visible.
