Object Description
Black and white photograph of a group of men, women and one young boy on a stage . They are all dressed in costume and are standing in a semi-circle extending from one end of the stage to the other.  There are three women seated on chairs in the front and to the right.  All of the women are wearing ankle-length cocktail dresses, 1920's flapper headbands and many are holding flowers.  The men are wearing a wide variety of costumes; some with top hats and tails, others wearing business attire, military uniform and even a chef's costume. 

The scenery depicts the interior of a Grecian estate.  Tall Greek columns are punctuated by elegant doors in the center and painted scenery of mountains and countryside that rise up behind the cast and between the columns.  On the floor and front and center of the stage, there is a large clamshell concealing either a light, speaker or prompter's box.   At the bottom of the photo you can see one row of theater chairs.
