I remember coming home from kindergarten one day, which at the time was a half day, and when I came in the door my mom had a group of ladies over. They were drinking coffee out of white cups. I remember how fascinated I was with the arced imprints left by their red or pink lipsticks. It must be nice to be grown up and drink coffee and leave pretty colors behind on the rim of the cup so that even when they all left the house, their colors would remain. They were talking about a woman named Marta Beckett. She was a dancer who bought a theater in Death Valley less than an hour from where I lived called the Amargosa Opera House. She danced variations from different ballets at noon every day, even if no one came to watch her. “Even if no one is there?” One woman asked. “Yes,” sad another “isn’t that the strangest thing?” But I didn’t think it was strange. I thought it was like hearing there is a kind of undiscovered magic, this idea that someone out there committed themselves to the act of making something beautiful every single day...even if no one was watching. #dance #amargosaoperahouse #ballet #balletdancer #photography #fineartphotography #writing

04/22/16 - Death Valley Junction, CA - WHAT’S PLAYING TONIGHT? - Not sure what’s playing tonight but I do know this, I’m first in line for tickets. After barely staying upright in this afternoon's ‘knock you off the bike’ 50 mph crosswinds, the entryway seen pictured was the perfect refuge.

Amargosa Opera House, Death Valley Junction. This place has a fabulous story Marta Becket. Her and her husband had a flat type and came across an abandoned hotel and social hall in the desert that would come to be her lifelong stage. She previously worked as a dancer in New York. Sadly she recently passed away at age 92. #deathvalley #usaroadtrip #amargosaoperahouse #martabecket #california #stage #operahouse #theatre (at Amargosa Opera House and Hotel)

We are about 7 miles down the road from Amargosa Opera House here at the Longstreet Inn and Casino, just over the boarder into Nevad, for Dinner and WiFi. There is no reception here in Death Valley Junction/Amargosa Valley and the Opera House has no TV, no food, and only WiFi in the lobby. We are having the best time and that is not sarcasm. #longstreetinnandcasino #amargosaoperahouse #deathvalleyjunction #amargosa #amargosavalley #california #nevada #roadtrip #americanroadtrip #usa
