Scenery First Partners with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for Philly Episode 8/6

When the producers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, EMHE, decided to completely rebuild the 300 year old cabin of Trisha Urban and her baby Cora into the fairytale inspired home of their dreams, the local Tilden Township community in Hamburg, PA hastened together to volunteer food, labor, and emotional support. Trisha and Cora were left alone and in serious debt when Trisha's husband died suddenly of a congenital heart defect.

To help make the magic possible EMHE turned to internationally known Scenery First, a team of brilliant scenery design and manufacture specialists. The company is located just outside of Philadelphia. For over 18 years, Scenery First has built and designed sets for prestigious institutions like the Philadelphia International Flower Show, The Kennedy Center, Philadelphia Theater Company and Carnival Cruise Lines.

"We're thrilled to be a part of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. We've done scenery for hundreds of shows all over the world, but it's great to see our work stay so close to home," said Jack Doyle, president of Scenery First Inc. Scenic Designer Michael Barone adds, "The whimsical garden structures that we built for the Urban Hideaway Farms' garden are one of a kind and I hope the Urban family will love them for years to come."

The episode will air August 6 on ABC. You can find more information about Scenery First at SceneryFirstInc.com
