Theatre
of Memory is a private
museum wedded dangerously to performance art. All of the documents,
artifacts and geofacts presented here are components of shows presented
over the last decades in dramatic settings, after-school programs, book
clubs and retirement communities. These people
were all ready for fun, intellectually curious and kind enough to pay
for a good story.
In our quest for good stories we pick through the flotsam and jetsam that time has washed upon the shores of now and sift for meaning. These pieces have come into our hands and our consideration for the short time that we walk the planet and we seek to share them and their stories with a wider audience. Never forget that the whole point of this enterprise had been to put historical documents, artifacts and geofacts into the hands of audience members interested enough to contemplate them and utter “What the…?” What you perceive herein are but ghost images of actual solidity.
"Quiet and Peaceful
not rushed
here in the middle
Discover yourself
here in the moment
People are easy
happy and honest
with the soft smell
of beauty on the breeze
in this lazy place
Educated, Cultivated
and Lovely"
