“A provincial blindness moves so many of us to ignore beauty around us, while we gasp at glory in far away places.”
Opened originally in 1934 as a theatrical training ground for some of the country’s most beloved stage performances, Dunaway is a one of a kind rock and floral garden that boasts unsurpassed beauty throughout the seasons.
A new incarnation of Hetty Jane Dunaway will come suddenly upon the curtain of cedars fanning out into the curve of seats in one of the dells, note the faerie rings as perfect plateaux for chorus and orchestra, envision a corps de ballet approaching the stage from a winding path.
This site is under construction, stay tuned for reveals coming soon.
