The Klaphakes The 1930s Broadway mural entitled “a portrait” is the culmination of 10 years of research, sketching, and painting by ABT’s lobby muralist and co-founder Penelope “Penny” Klaphake.

Famous Figures Because the Arizona Broadway Theatre has Art Deco-inspired architecture, Penny decided to carry that same theme into the mural and began researching that reverberating, transitional period in American history – roughly the late 1920s to the early 1940s.

Originally a smaller work, the mural has been transformed into a colorful, 14-foot high x 84-foot long piece distilled into a concept encompassing Broadway in New York City that focuses on the following three elements:

♦ Broadway Theatre District: Theatres located on 42nd Street, 43rd Street, 44th Street, 45th Street, and Broadway (the street)

♦ Skyscrapers: showing them strategically placed in five vanishing points of each street

♦ People: showing 100 individuals, 48 on the left side, two in the center, and 48 on the right side, most of whom were famous people connected to the performing arts on Broadway
