Margaret Garner Premiere
Here is an exterior at the Detroit Opera House with the Margaret Garner promo photo on the window and myself not-so-artistically captured in the reflection. There were lots of people milling about on the gorgeous evening of the premiere.
Here's an interior of the Detroit Opera House. It is very impressive!
A shot of the pre-show curtain from my seat three rows from the back. It was friendly up there, though---there were many familiar faces in the cheap seats!
Here is the cast taking a bow after the performance. The set was abstract and lovely. Denyce Graves, who played Margaret Garner, is in the middle in the brown dress, with Gregg Baker, who played her husband Robert, next to her. In my opinion, the stand out performance came from Angela Brown as Robert's mother, Cilla.
