Being Cultured

We had an artsy afternoon.  We attended BYU Young Company's production of Comedy of Errors.  It was set in a 1960s beach town and was funny and engaging.  Both Brandt and Blythe really liked it.  We got sprayed with water, had an actor climb over our seats right between me and Brandt, and Blythe got bopped on the head by a beach ball.  There was a fun set complete with a photoboard I wanted to have the kids stick their heads into, but neither was willing to humor me.  More's the pity.

Blythe wouldn't stand with us to take a picture.

After the play, we walked across the way to the MOA to check out an exhibit by the artist Patrick Dougherty entitled Windswept.  Doughtery creates works out of willow branches that he weaves together to make large, immersive installations.  They are super cool, and the exhibit in the MOA is really fantastic.  You can walk all around and through it, it towers to the ceiling, and it smells really good.  The saplings were hauled in by a semi-load, and Doughterty had students and community members help him weave the piece.  We all loved it and wandered around and through it with much delight.
