Just shy of a year ago, prior to the hurricane’s definitive statement of destructive intent, I gathered together previous NAC postings on the status of our riverfront venue.
A thriving (and progressive?) RiverStage in Jeffersonville, and in New Albany … er, never mind.
The amphitheater is back in the news after the mayor met with characters from the Wizard of Oz to announce a target date for canopy replacement, and that there’ll be munchkins running amok near the boat landing in September thanks to a performances of L. Frank Baum’s story.
My take: It’s a wonderful thing to have the riverside venue recapped, and thanks to the mayor for getting the job done. At the same time, performances like Dorothy’s are not what really needs to be staged there.
You?
