For the two years I have lived in Fullerton I have meant to visit the Muckenthaler Cultural Center; it is local, it is affordable and it supports the arts. Unfortunately, I never kept it on my radar-that is to say I never made an effort to learn about the new exhibits and attend regularly. The few exhibitions I did hear about, frankly, did not interest me. Based on this small sampling of shows I never attended I unfairly, and subconsciously concluded the Muckenthaler was for old people and made less of an effort to attend.
My impression of the Muckenthaler changed this morning when I received an e-mail invitation to play croquet and bocce ball. The Muck is not for old folks, but old souls-Daisy Buchanans who live a life leisure and lawn sports.
Sadly, I cannot attend tomorrow’s croquet and bocce ball tournament, but I will invite friends to join me for October’s date. In the meantime I hope to attend Dancing with the Beatles, contemporary dance choreographed to songs by The Fab Four. Whether I make it to this or not The Muckenthaler is now on my radar and I hope to visit soon. -Krystal
