Footsbarn's 35th Anniversary -- A Celebration of Theatre
Grunting, Groaning, and Getting Where We're Going
Travels through Paris, Bourges, the Bourbonnais, Rivers Cher & L'Allier

Getting there may be half the fun, but it takes most of the work. I was only one of literally thousands of people who travelled to Central France to see Footsbarn Theatre or to help them make their celebration a reality. Here are some photos of our shared travails from my own point of view.
