Theatre from Summer Camp, Alexandra Bradford wk 2


At Inspiration Point, a camp grounds in Eureka Springs, there is a building like a theatre. However, it is open on its sides, supported by unfinished wood pillars, and the whole structure is built on a downslope so that the highest row in the audience is at the top of the hill. For five summers I went to camp here and performed on this stage in the middle of the spectacular Ozarks mountains and forests. In the audience, you would hear the sounds of the woods in between performances. I thought this building was so cool, and I loved to be outside on the warm summer nights and listen to the least weathered piano they had and the stringed instrumental pieces. It was somewhat secluded and was a beautiful, truly inspiring place.
