Did anyone else find the city of Madison's recent arts survey a bit screwy and lopsided? Lindsay Christians of The Capital Times reports on its findings here [2]. Christians has also busily been racking up reviews of American Players Theatre's [3] ongoing season, and we're planning to have her discus the plays on Arts Extract next week. Christian Newuhaus commented for Dane101 on the arts survey as well here. [4]
Isthmus' Aaron R. Conklin places WPR's arts-focused [5]45 North [5] show in the context of a larger public-radio shakeup. Also, Madison folks, the show has been letting a few audience members in for Friday-morning music performances, including an upcoming one this Friday with Count This Penny; see the show's Facebook page [6] for details.
Coverage about changes at the Regent Street Retreat is worth reading [7], mostly for the "former Ted Nugent roadie" angle.
Welcome to the Madison Commons, a website designed to provide news and information about all of Madison's neighborhoods and a crossroads for the discussion of community issues. The name comes from the idea of a village commons, a place for news, talk, debate, and some entertainment, too, that's open to everyone.
