Have you ever had one of those experiences that really made you believe that you were born too late?

You know, not a few days or weeks late like a normal birth, but a number of years late, like 40 - 50 years.

As devoted Jetsetters Travel Writers, always onrepparttar go, we had not one, but three experiences in which we had déjà vu trippy experiences that really make us think we were born 40 - 50 years too late. For both of us having grown up inrepparttar 109724 good old, corn-fed Midwest in Chicago, we're huge fans of architecture created byrepparttar 109725 rightly self proclaimed "Greatest Architect in American History."

Who is this, you ask and why? Read on, my friends and we'll explain in our three-part karma journey for our latest Jetsetters Magazine feature article.

First, we went torepparttar 109726 always cutting edge Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art to view an excellent 90-minute theater production presented by The Theatre of Will Foundation. It was a one-person play aboutrepparttar 109727 then 68-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright that occurred during a three-hour timeframe in 1935. The setting for this play was inrepparttar 109728 drafting room at Spring Green, Wisconsin at Taliesin,repparttar 109729 initial hilltop architectural home for Mr. Wright's fellowship of architectural and landscape architect apprentices. This brilliant two-act play examines Wright's life, from personal adversities and professional set backs to design innovations and architectural achievements to his outrageous comments about American popular culture.

Inrepparttar 109730 intimate Ahmanson Auditorium at MOCA, having approximately 160 seats, mostly filled with an eclectic, artsy crowd of thirty-somethings, we were privileged to experience this special engagement of this amazing theatrical production starring John Crowther. Not only did he write and performrepparttar 109731 entire play, but he even looks like a spitting image of Frank Lloyd Wright while he is decked out in his beret, gold ascot, and gray suit.

Having personally seen interviews with F.LL.W, John is a very gifted and talented actor who convinced us that we were back in time witnessingrepparttar 109732 real Frank Lloyd Wright. His body movements, mannerisms, and speech pattern were uncannily onrepparttar 109733 mark. John cleverly portrayed F.LL.W.'s bombastic personality as this architectural visionary reminisced to his students for three hours while he speedily hand-drafted, or as he said, "shookrepparttar 109734 design out of his sleeve," for one of his masterpieces - Fallingwater in Bear Run, Pennsylvania.
