I forgot to mention, that last night during the perfomance, we learned a very astounding bit of trivia: Dorothea Lang's granddaughter wrote the screenplay for the movie Mrs. Doubtfire.
If you don't know who Dorothea Lang is, here's a rundown: influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange's photographs humanized the tragic consequences of the Great Depression and profoundly influenced the development of documentary photography. The photos she took are heartbreaking and gorgeous. I won't comment on the merit of Mrs. Doubtfire.
How amazingly awful!
