Ten children, cast members in a school play, pose standing side by side in front of a row of chairs on a stage in Basalt, Colorado. The children are dressed in an assortment of costumes, including breeches, long-sleeved shirts, aprons, suspenders, and neckties. Top hats, straw hats and cowboy hats are part of the outfits. The boy at the end of the row holds a cultivator. A rainbow over a portrait is surrounded by a garland on the back wall. A kerosene chandelier with glass globes hangs from the ceiling in the foreground. An American flag is draped across the painting and a banner with stars and stripes hangs from the front of the stage.
