Studio C

Studio C is a sketch comedy show that is created, filmed, and produced on the BYU campus.  This is one of Ava's favorite shows and she calls it the "Silly Show".  We decided since we were going to be at BYU we would go see where Studio C is made.  This sounds easier than it turned out to be.

Before our trip I searched the internet for the address of Studio C and wrote it down.  After our lunch I typed in the address on my phone and followed the route.  Unfortunately, it took us on a wild goose chase.  The address I had was not for the TV show Studio C.  It was for some other BYU warehouse type buildings.  We drove around for a while and almost gave up.  I knew this was a big deal to Ava, so I decided to ask for directions.  We stopped outside a building that looked like it had an office inside.  I went in and found a whole bunch of people working at cubicles, wearing headphones, and giving me the weirdest look.  A couple people took out their earbuds and were kind enough to give me directions.  I hopped back in the car and we drove to the broadcast building (who knew there was a broadcast building...obviously not us.).  We literally drove 1 block and it was across the street.

I'm glad I decided to ask for directions because it was the highlight of Ava's BYU trip.  At first, just Ava and I went inside because we couldn't find visitor parking.  As soon as you open the door you are greeted by life-size cutouts of all the cast members.  Ava was super excited and had the biggest smile on her face.  We didn't know where the actual studio was, so Ava patiently waited in line to ask the man at the front desk.  He told us where the door to the studio was and that there was a window upstairs that we could look down at the set. 

While looking down onto the set we saw a few people moving around.  We could only see legs and feet, so we didn't really know who it was.  Ava believed the person wearing the white shoes was one of the cast members named Adam because he was wearing white shoes in his life-size cutout.  I thought that was a good theory, so I rolled with it.

Ava was so excited about everything she decided Rich needed to see it.  We left our car in permit only parking (oops, don't tell anyone) for a few minutes, so Ava could give Rich the tour.  She made sure he saw everything and we took some pictures with the cast members.  The only sad thing about the experience is Ava was unable to buy a Studio C t-shirt at the bookstore because they are only sold online.
