Free Day LACMA on Memorial Day

May 24, 2008

You gotta check out the new Broad Contemporary Museum at LACMA.  It has an excellent, huge, three floor collection of modern art - a Cindy Sherman room, Jenny Holzers, Basquiats, and installation art by a young British artist whose name I can’t remember.  The first floor has these huge spirals that you can walk through (picture below).  I love installation art and BCAM is an awesome fun house.

Of Mice and Men

We saw Of Mice and Men at the Pasadena Playhouse.  It was short and sweet (in a devastating way), probably the best play I’ve seen at the PP.  The play was the book almost verbatim, with Spanish thrown in, and the acting was fine all around.  Lenny was exactly what I pictured Lenny as. The sets, as usual for PP, were great to look at. Most of the plays I’ve seen at the PP have had okay acting and seemed to last way too long.  I think one of reasons this worked was because how short it was.
