"Panevezys Teatras" ,was spurred by a visit to Panevezys, Lithuania in May 2018 where we came across a prominent theater in town, built during Soviet Times. Evidently construction materials were hard to come by and the local authority had seen it fitting to use headstones from the town's Jewish cemetery to face part of the building.
Thanks to @revolta1347 for the amazing wood (mostly reclaimed from old Texas barns)—its texture and feel really reminded me of the worn old headstones I saw in various towns in Lithuania. And thanks to @lasersmakeitawesome for the etching on the headstones, helping instill a sense of time and texture.
