The play I'm in takes place in the 1950s and all of the scenes are played in the living room of the main family's apartment. Among the furniture on the set are two large over-stuffed chartreuse colored chairs. I've been looking at those chairs for several days now and wondering if they really fit the 50s theme. Then suddenly, as I was looking at them this evening, I realized that the sectional sofa we had in our living room during the 50s and beyond was the exact same color. Even our living room walls were painted that color. My mother really liked chartreuse. It must have been a popular color at the time. So now I'm looking at these old chairs with more respect. Such a silly little memory.
