The Little Theater

California · United States · Theatre

Mr Letty taught here. His wake was held at the school, with a portrait in the casket rather than his body, and he has not left the room since.

The Little Theater at this school in Pico Rivera, California, known to everybody as the drama room, is associated with a former teacher.

His wake was held at the school. There was a portrait in the casket rather than his body.

That detail is the entire reason this entry is worth keeping. A wake with an image in place of a person is an unusual thing for a school to arrange, and whatever the practical reason, it means the ceremony that should have closed the account was performed without him.

Costumes come off their racks and are scattered.

Drama teachers occupy an unusual place in a school. They see the same students every day for years, in a room that belongs to them more completely than a classroom belongs to anybody, and generations of students remember them.

The school is in use.
