Little known artists

I love that, because of the people in my life, I sometimes find myself doing things that I otherwise wouldn't. Like sipping Chamomile tea at the Unity Church one evening while watching basement musicians perform a home grown cabaret for a private audience of ten. Or escaping to a fantasy world through the talent and wonderful imagination of a high school set design crew at a performance of Alice Through the Looking Glass. It is risky business venturing down unbeaten paths and sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the hype and extravagance of large scale productions. But whether the performance is enjoyable or not, there is certainly a lot to be gained from watching shows where the art and love of performing hasn't been tainted by the pursuit of wealth and fame.
