Early spring at the arthouse

Stage "after the gig". Chairs are put away to create our dance floor for another few weeks.

"My forebears have bequethed to me the basic structure of my own particular pattern, both in my cells and in the underwater areas of my imagination. . . so the family protraits mean a great deal to me - as beacons to guide me." -Madeleine L'Engle
