Majestic French Theatre
presents a Noel musical
production of...
French winter mice.
December 21 through January 1
Hidden deep in the secluded French hillside
sat a majestic aged French theatre built centuries ago,
by the hillside mice.
A theatre where a charming audience of field mice every
winter looked forward to a production of,
Un Joyeux Noel winter mice musical.
The Beauty and Design
Enhanced the experience of their performance.
Candle lit stage
A magical performance, twinkling candlelight for an
inviting performance that delighted the young and old
alike.
The hillside theatre sat really in the most magical place untouched for years, and only then that magical season of greetings would the hillside mice come out to play in
theatrics of, a winter performance of,
a French Noel musical.

Tattered Banners
Hung with a whimsical wire ladder.
I Loved The architecture
The minute I used it.
Little mice were the muse in why it was
built.
Nestled and Embraces Winter
Washed in whites and aging greys, touched
with golds with my paint brush in hand.

Gathered History and
Beautifully Faded
Quintessentially French
(My created hand twisted French wire chandelier)

Fringed, Frayed, Theatre Curtains
A Glow of A Production Seen Afar.
The Hillside Theatre
Now relocated from the hillside story of France, the theatre entertains this winter in my studio where its history, age,
and beauty acts out...
The magic of a winters Noel.
This French theatre was built with gathered antique
salvage, old reimaged wood planked stage floors,
and staged with my hand twisted wire, and
paper ephemera mice.

gracious beauty. is it strange that my favorite part of your design is the tattered banner against the perfect backdrop? the tattered and the sublime. :)
Dore, I'm in love with it. It is so magical and beautiful. I love the mice. Someday my daughter and I might have to try to make our own version. She makes mini sets for Petshops, so this appeals to her. Merry Christmas to you and your family. xoox Su
