hand-carved wooden sign of a poster for the first presentation ever performed by the Gloriana Opera Co. of Mendocino, California -- Gilbert & Sullivan's 'The Mikado' -- this is signed by the artist 'JBH' and is a beautifully rendered title and image of a Japanese mask, with a header for the Opera Company, dated 1977 --
-- this has signatures on the back that are likely the performers of the Opera: I do not think it is, but one looks curiously like that of Jerry Garcia..... --
-- this measures 18 1/2 by 29 in. by 5/8 in. thick --
-- moderate wear: dusty // a slight warp to the board // light handling wear --
-- *from the Gloriana web site:
"GLORIANA MUSICAL THEATRE, originally known as THE GLORIANA OPERA COMPANY, was founded in 1976 with Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado as its first offering at Crown Hall in Mendocino, 1977. Gloriana Musical Theatre is one of the oldest performing arts groups in Mendocino County..." * --
