The Big Picture

This is the last week-end of the Fall 2010 Swamp Gravy season. The Big Picture has been another winner. The stories of the Murals, and the stories behind the stories of the murals are retold on the Cotton Hall stage. On the back wall the murals are projected as the scene is enacted. The big surprise is the puppets from the found objects which enliven the scenes. I especially like the alligator from the Summer in the Swamp mural. The alligator's mouth is made from pans which hold the paint. The audience is delighted when the alligator opens his big red paint pans mouth. As usual the children steal the show. They know every line and every song and could play each other and all the adult roles. The music is a compilation of the wonderful songs from former shows and makes your heart sing with their beautiful melodies.
It is Saturday morning and what a thrill it is to see the tour busses and church busses already here to walk aroung our town on this beautiful Fall Day. We love sharing our talent and our love for our community with visitors. Next week we will be sharing it with the World at the Global Mural, Arts and Cultural Tourisn Conference.
