Salina E. Malmsten Amphitheater, July 1971

Photograph of the semi-completed outdoor Salina E. Malmsten Amphitheatre located southwest of the Giovale Library. The angle of this photo is taken from the stage looking out towards the rising tiers of railroad tie seats. The shape of the theater is semi-oval and surrounded by a grove of trees. A woman and two men are conversing at the third seat from the bottom. The woman sits on the tier, one man stands upright on the tier below were the woman sits, and the other man is stands next to him with one leg placed upon the same tier the woman sits upon. Visible in the distant horizon, over the top of the hill, are the turrets of Converse Hall. Sunlight illuminates half of the theater while the grove of trees blankets the other half with shade. Judging by the unevenness of the ground at the foot of each tier and the pile of railroad ties located on the left side near the top of the hill, the theater may still be in the process of completion.
