Sunday Night at the Theatre


Last Sunday night I was in Tempe at the Grady Gammage Auditorium to see one of the plays in my Broadway series.

I was sitting on the theatre patio before the show with my friend Glenda and I noticed how pretty the sunlight on the scallop-like trim of this iconic building looked.  I didn't have my camera with me but there is always the trusty iPhone.

You might remember this building from other posts.  It's the spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright designed building on the Tempe campus of ASU.












The show we saw was "Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" an uproariously funny comedy/musical that had the audience laughing and applauding all the way through.  I had never seen this show before and I loved the stage setting so much I snapped a photo of it during intermission.  All of the action of the play took place inside that frame.

That's quite a stage. I do remember the FLW building -- really nice!

Grady Gammage Auditorium is a photographer's dream. And that stage setting is pretty spectacular too.

I checked your link and would not have guessed this was FLW. He's not well known for round forms other than the Guggenheim NY. Never heard of this and glad to know.
