The audience members all face away from the camera and face towards the stage at the front of the auditorium. The stage is situated off-center to the right. A man stands at a podium at the center of the stage and addresses the audience. Other participants sit on stage behind him. A variety of trees line the back of the stage. Along the top edge, bunting hangs down over the stage.
