Artist’s Statement
"The three drawings are illustrations from an exhibition and proposed book on American Outdoor Theaters. One drawing, showing a plan and section, depicts the Boulder, Colorado Sunrise Theater, designed by S.R. DeBoer in 1933. The other two drawings are a plan and section of the Sidney B. Cushing Theater on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California. Designed by Emerson Knight in 1924, the theater was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps from 1935 to 1941."
