Why We Chose It
You’ll have to let your imagination do the walking on this one; the 87-year-old black and white photo on newsprint does not do it justice. But what a space! Put in performer in that location and you’ll find us there — not because of who’s on stage, but because of how beautiful the setting is. Place and experience matter. We’ve forgotten that lesson and this is a good reminder.
