It’s a Sunday afternoon and I’m hungover in Death Valley Junction, CA, waiting to see 87-year-old Marta Becket’s final performance at the famed Amargosa Opera House.
For 44 straight years, it’s been the site of her one-woman show, which she’s performed three nights a week at 8:15 p.m. sharp — even if her only audience was the one she’d painted on the walls.
