Some of the wood used in this piece came from the set used in the Sheboygan Theater Company’s production of “Evita”.  My adult son and daughter both had significant roles.  My son played the part of Magaldi and my daughter was a part of the Singing/Dancing Ensemble.

“Evita charts the young and ambitious Eva Peron’s meteoric rise to sainthood. Set in Argentina between 1934-1952, the Tony-winning musical follows Eva Duarte on her journey from poor illegitimate child to ambitious actress to, as wife of military leader-turned-president Juan Peron, the most powerful woman in Latin America, before her death from cancer at age 33.

The events in Evita’s life are presented in song and commented on by the show’s narrator, Che. Well-known numbers from Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical masterpiece include “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus,” “Buenos Aires” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.”

 

This wood came from the bed on which Evita “entertained” many influential men, who then assisted her in her rise to fame and prominence.
