Lysia allows the others to take their seats before sitting down herself.
She leans over to the others, "My father did 'Beyond the Gate' here a long
long time ago. He had balcony seats set aside for his guests for every
preformance, I met a lot of interesting people that summer."
She grins a little, "A few years later my mother sang the lead in 'Mistress'
here as well. There's a lot of memories in this old building."
