This is another 24' x 8 mural style backdrop inspired by Broadway Magic. from left to right 57 Chevy (Grease), figure from Mamma Mia, grape vine (I Heard it Through the Grapevine), Telephone (Satin Doll), Rosy the Riveter (Work), bunny (Easter Parade), Highway 66, turkey (I will Survive). Above: US flag (Yankee Doodle), sleeve insignia from US Navy Chaplaincy (American Soldier). (I'm not sure about this but I think the crook signifies caring for spiritual needs of Jewish soldiers. The six sided star is now permitted but in the 1920's the crook only was permitted since the six sided star was deemed too similar to the 5 sided star and a chaplain might be mistaken for a general.)

Overall: "Holidaze", Celebrating holidays throughout the year, with a landscape inspired by Arizona, where the performers (mostly seniors and members of a dance group called the Rhythm Tappers)
