Hmmm...
So most places have their season schedules up for the coming year. I was doing some research to see what kinds of arts events we could take Ollie to.
It seems pretty bleak, right now.
Ballet Austin? Nothing. They say their family dance things are all ages, but from the descriptions that's pretty much crap.
Austin Lyric Opera? Nope. They want nothing to do with pre-schoolers.
Austin Symphony Orchestra? Well, they have 1 family concert an appropriate time this year. The have other concerts, but they start at 7. Which is BED TIME. So the one concert went on the calender. Who the hell starts a family concert at 7?
Scottish Rite only has shows for much older kids listed.
Second Youth has shows that look like they will be appropriate but no dates or times.
I'm ruling out anything like Sesame Street Live or whatever. But that's only for now. It's not like Austin is giving me many other options. What the hell? How am I supposed to be cultivating a patron of the arts, people?
