Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'The Face on the Bar-room Floor'
A few years ago I did the sets for a production of "Face", and I sent my husband into the Teller house to get photos for me. The artwork on the walls of that place is something else! Greek figures with odd deformities, i.e. one woman's breast is in her hand where an apple ought to ba instead of on her breast. The company had hired a scenic painter who thought he was God himself, and couldn't paint a nude any better than the average high schooler. 'Twas then I decided to do my own painting. Finally covered the last of those flats with something else about 2 years ago.

It's a neat little opera, by Henry Mollicone, with a wicked set of light cues, as my son found out when we took it on the road, and the theatre had a very sick light board that kept forgetting cues. I think there were 83 of them in the 45 min opera with over 20 in the last 4 minutes...
