Columbine Auditorium Home Theatre
3 works

A dimly lit theater with a modern stage set against a purple curtain backdrop. Three figures stand on the stage, with one seated at a piano on the left. Rows of empty black theater seats face the stage, and a single plush toy whale lies on the floor in the foreground, adding an unexpected element to the scene.

Six theater or auditorium seats with light gray, blue, and lavender upholstery, arranged in two rows.
