I am also a proud graduate of the CTC's TAT school. And I support NOT mutilating the MIA or CTC.

When I was there, we had no set building. Our campus was all of the Whittier neighborhood, which I personally loved. When my daughter and nephew attended they had the current building. Ann is right. Kids don't need that type of building to entice them about what's inside. Kids can see creativity in a stick and pile of dirt. My granddaughter likes exploring everything, as long as it doesn't look too scary. It teached them also, not to judge a book by its cover.

(I hope "monstrocity" is not on the short list of words that will get me banned for inflamatory language.) I speak from experience: my four children, now grown, loved attending Children's Theatre, actually got dressed up to attend most times, and - as far as I can tell - never felt the least put off by the beautiful, sleek facade of CTC/MIA. In fact they actually clambored to prowl the galleries of the MIA, had their own favorite pieces (Hammering Man, The Denial of Peter, the bronze nymphs). Hey, just because we want children to enjoy the place doesn't mean it has to look like it was built with Legos. Young people can learn to appreciate beauty, restraint, elegance...if only we take the time to teach them rather than pandering to themGraves' design promises us yet another desecration of an unusually elegant and beautiful landmark. Folks, what is it about our city that is breeding such a proliferation of really UGLY stuff?
