Details



There are so many possibilities for a theme like "details."  I chose a detail from an exhibition of costumes at the Hartford Public Library.

Hartford Stage Company is celebrating its 50th anniversary, so they had an exhibition of costumes from plays presented over the last five decades.  This dress appeared in a play in the 1978-1979 season and again in a different play in the 1994-1995 season.

  14. A creative play on the details theme. BTW, I am an average 5'7", but standing next to my Dad, who is 6'2", I am sure I seem even shorter!

  17. The Hartford Stage Company must have an extensive wardrobe after all those years. How interesting the dress in your photo was used in two different plays.
