Orlando Family Stage is a professional Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) organization in Orlando, Florida that focuses on producing engaging theatrical experiences for children and families. Since its founding as the Orlando Little Players in December 1925, the company has become one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in the southeastern United States and is the only professional theatre in Florida devoted entirely to young audiences. The theatre operated under several names before rebranding as Orlando Family Stage in 2023 to better reflect its commitment to creating meaningful experiences for audiences of all generations.

Burke is dressed in a wedding gown sitting on the ground as four Catholic nuns stand behind her. Handwritten on the back of the photograph is, “Cradle Song 1972-73 Delta Burke.” This was the last production to take place at the location on Montana Avenue.
