Thanks Barbara Beauty and the Beast Set for saleSunday, July 11th, 2010We have a new Beauty and the Beast set used for the performance at St. Joseph in Madison last weekend. The set includes a 2-story castle that comes apart in 2 sections for movement off the stage, a fountain for the village square, a dungeon which turns around into the library, a cart costume for Chip, a poster bed for Belle and the castle gate. The castle has several candleabras and chandeliers that light up. It also has a a pedestal for the rose with internal lighting and pull cords to allow the petals to fall off. Dads and kids spent a lot of time on this but, as usual, we need to make room for the next show. Photos are available on request.

Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser SpeaksSaturday, January 23rd, 2010Earlier this week I had the pleasure of hearing Michael Kaiser speak at the MSU Riley center about the state of the arts during these difficult economic times. As part of his 50 state tour Kaiser is listening to others as well as emphasizing the importance of the arts. Accordig to Kaiser arts related income is down about 6 % for most arts organizaions. while income is down Kaiser stressed the importance of not decreasing programming. he notes that the tendancy is to cut back especially in marketing but it is critical to ontinue to provide high quality programming and a strong and clear marketing strategy. Organizations need to be clever and cutting edge in identifying the best ways to market to their existing and potential customers. He noted that arts organizations are resilient and most continue to push forward or risk losing ground.
