Gertrude Stein and a Companion
As the curtain opens, one is suddenly exalted by a kaleidoscope of the brilliant colors of some of the paintings Ms. Stein owned. They are lit (upstage rear) behind a curtain of scrim which makes them so vivid that the symbol of all they imply creatively and all that
Ms. Stein encouraged from their creators comes together in an epiphany of amazement and joy and beauty.
