Pleasant the recent surge
varied culture on demand
  newborn opened theaters
featuring players on stage
dancing, drama, musicals
accommodating all tastes
a latest crowning addition
" High Desert Light Opera "
led by an operatic tenor
an inspiration to our town
his first concluded opera
The Tales of Hoffmann by
Jaccques Offenbach an
immediate achievement
the next production to be
Die Fledermaus by Strauss
our Grand Valley emerging
from cultural slumber with an
accelerated excited bang.
