Our ongoing project to restore the stage that was once in the front of our museum room is completed.  Although we have footlights in the apron of the stage, our next step is to hang a lighting system and create a light board. 

Just look at the progress that has been made!!!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work done by our Board Member and volunteer Edwin Johnson.

The wood that creates the "proscenium," which surrounds the opening, was recycled from Ericsson School.  Old wainscoting from Ericsson covers the apron, the new addition that brings the stage out beyond the proscenium.  Ed also created the Vasa Order Emblem, which adorns the central sunburst.

The Vasa Order was the Swedish Organization that originally constructed the building we are in today.
