Description

Texas Christian University Professor of Theater and costume designer LaLonnie Lehman, left, and an unidentified student of the costume and design department at TCU work on quilt for the NAMES Project Memorial commemorating those who have died of AIDS. The quilt has a quotation from Shakespeare's Hamlet, "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray. Love. Remember." The 6-foot square quilt will be added to the national memorial quilt, set to be dedicated at the U.S. Institute for Theatre Technology conference on April 14, 1990 and will then be exhibited in various cities around the country. The quilt is fashioned after the dropped-down stage curtains used in vaudeville theater and will carry the names of members of the theater institute who have died from AIDS. Two unidentified students are seated at a table with a quilt laid in front of them. They are working on the quilt with their hands. In the background, there are racks with threads, tables with sewing machines, and manikin.
