Summary
In the interior view of the Tabor Opera House, Leadville, Colorado, the stage is full of painted drops and flats of ornate doorways, columns, and balustrades. Frank Geck is seated on the left while Newton Winburne and Eugene Iray, stage crew students, and Ed West, Technical Director at the University Theatre, dramatically pose around a central fireplace flat. The set is a part of Muriel Wolle's University of Colorado scenery project in which the group set up original canvas flats and drops to document and photograph, while she sketched each set and made color notes which were developed into large watercolor paintings.
