Masonic Lodge, Winona, MN
In five scenes, twenty-two historic, hand-painted drops are displayed. Readings from Shaharazad, and belly dancing, tie the story together.

The drops are fascinating and absolutely fabulous. The detail is incredible, and seems almost a shame that they were 'hidden' -- used for Masonic rituals, rather than for public theatre performances.
The story put together to display the drops is generally pointless, though I do understand that most people won't just sit to look at the art. Still, a little more time to see the drops withOUT overweight belly dancers blocking the view might be nice, too.
