This show was basically a unit set.  It consisted of a show portal that interacted with a scrim as you can see to the right.
The wall units were in 3 wagon pieces.  They were constructed in a stress skin technique using a foam core for strength.  The walls were in perspective and ranged from 20' on the downstage end to 16' on the upstage end.  The front flat units were covered with a piece of seamless muslin that had a painted pattern on it.  The chair-rail and crown moulding were  were carved out of foam in the scene shop and applied after the muslin was stretched.
 
As well as seeing the front, the backs of these units were visible as well.   However the wall you see above  is actually an independent wall from the front side of the wall.  In plan view with the front and back you have a wall that looks like  a wedge with walls on each end and space in between the two.
