Summary
Marta Becket, a dancer, mime, and choreographer, and her co-star Thomas J. Willett (also known as Wilget) talk about the Amargosa Opera House and adjacent hotel in Death Valley Junction, California. They describe the transformation of the once-abandoned building, and the performances they now present there. Becket looks back upon her early career in New York and the influences of her mother and her marriage. She performs the ballet solo Romance (mus: Tchaikovsky) and excerpts from the melodrama The second mortgage, in which Willett also appears.
