Thanks for your comment, jessamyn. The Theater Series will include all five productions, but you'll be able to pick and choose individual events through the Monogram Series if you're not interested in all of the theater offerings. You'll receive a special renewal packet in early May that will outline all of the options for you.

Sara Billmann, UMS

Hello, Sara Billmann from UMS here. DJK, I didn't read JWR's comment as snobbish or critical at all -- rather, just a comment about what the design and atmosphere evoked for him/her. Artists are constantly inspired, consciously or unconsciously, by things that they see or experience. I don't think JWR was suggesting that the designer "copied" the painting to produce the set.

Here's a link to the painting that JWR referred to:

What do others think of the comparison?
