The Giglio Theatre Dance Players Photo Gallery
Even in the early years of the Seattle Theatre School of Dance, Giovanni and Henriette Giglio put on very high quality recitals, fully staged with painted scenery, lighting and costuming. And the dancers performed choreography for which they were well-trained and rehearsed. For a number of years the recitals were held in June at the Women’s Century Club Theatre just off Broadway on Roy Street.
