A Wrinkle in Time

This afternoon we attended the BYU presentation of "A Wrinkle in Time".  The Provo Library had an incentive that if our boys were reading they could get a few pass to watch this play.  We also started reading the book together as a family so that we would know and understand what was going on in the play.

We we got to the theater the actors we interacting with the kids, playing games, coloring pictures and chit-chatting.  So everyone was on the stage together.  The production was done right there, up close to the audience.  I think that made a big difference in the overall feeling of this play.



We were able to secure the whole second row in the center section.  That was really nice since we were not the first ones there.


The show was done in 2 acts with a 10 minute intermission.  This was the entire cast; obviously there were multiple actors doing multiple roles.  Only the three main characters has single roles.



After the show we were able to catch Mrs. Whatsit (Stephanie) for a picture with some of the boys.  Michael and Aleky had run off and Quinten was asleep.


Overall, I think the boys had a fantastic time.  They were completely interested in the play and we didn't have to tell any of them to stop, sit down or be quiet.  Both Quinten and Gidean fell asleep during the show at one point or another.  But we had a great time as a family.
