Watching my toddler fall in love with art is a peak joy of parenting
The perfect age to experience 'Luna Luna,' the restored art carnival now on display at the Shed in New York, might be 2.
To a toddler, the futuristic pavilions designed by Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney are towering castles of glass and mirrors and swoops of color. The riderless Basquiat Ferris wheel turns as if it were enchanted. Massive puppets of animals and monsters flit among the crowds. Everywhere you look, there is music and light and movement.

Dalí Museum unveils new murals exhibit
The Dalí Museum unveiled its first-ever murals exhibition, which merges Salvador Dali's surrealist vision with modern street art. Participants in St. Petersburg's SHINE Mural Festival were among those commissioned to paint original murals on the museum's walls. What they're saying: "Museums aim to be porous—what is out in the world must find its way into a museum," said Hank Hine, executive director of The Dalí Museum. "With the exhibition ... we bring the immediacy and ambitious size of street murals into the gallery to be examined in a new way."

Tom Hanks to Star in ‘This World of Tomorrow' Play, Which He Wrote, This Fall
Tom Hanks will wear many hats this fall when he stars in a new off-Broadway play, This World of Tomorrow, based on his own short stories via a script he co-wrote with playwright James Glossman. Kenny Leon, who directed the production of Othello starring Denzel Washington and a recent revival of Our Town, will also direct. The plot centers on Bert Allenberry (Hanks' character), a time-traveling scientist from the future visiting the 1939 World's Fair in Queens in search of true love. Allenberry makes the trip through time again and again in the play, which will get its world premiere at the New York City venue, the Shed. Previews begin Oct. 30 and the production will run through Dec. 21. Tickets go on sale July 24.

'It will be a joy to experience Tom leading the cast on stage in this time-traveling adventure of the limitless power of love and the distance one is willing to go for it,' Leon said. 'This story explores a fascinating tale of the echoes of past generations, the often-surprising collisions between them, and what is carried forward with an authentic humor I can't wait to bring to life in the [Shed's] Griffin Theater.' Hanks last took the stage a little over a decade ago in Lucky Guy, a play written by Nora Ephron (who directed Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail). Hanks' performance in that play garnered Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle, and Tony Award nominations.
