The production includes other personalities from the period including Manet, Degas, Mary Cassatt, Jacques-Louis David, and of course Marie-Antoinette.

Kim! Welcome back to San Francisco! Just found your blog through my statcounter. Lovely.
Hey, I didn't realize Christine had a play in production. She's the sister of a very good friend.
Hey, I forgot to tell Michelle about the play! Luckily it runs for 3 more weekends. Kim, thanks so much for the mention! (I just found it accidentally while Googling something.)
Christine--My friends and I are planning to see the play on Friday night. I can hardly wait!
