Dance, Drama, Song are a set of three enameled Art Deco metal plaques sculpted by Hildreth M. Meiere and fabricated by Oscar Bruno Bach. They were installed on the outside of Radio City Music Hall in 1932. Each plaque is a 18' diameter Polychrome enameled metal rondel, gilded with gold and silver. They represent the three main functions of the theater.
