ART TAP episode 079





On tap this week (again) are my friends Amy Long and Cindy Gerlach, from the Live765 arts section of the Lafayette Journal and Courier.  We meet occasionally to review and discuss the things we’ve seen and experienced in the area, and to recognize the efforts that are not getting much formal recognition.

We may have spent a bit of time discussing our own interests, but we touch on a ton of other things as well.  Things we talked about:

“Into the Woods” at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette https://www.lafayettecivic.org
“Intimate Apparel” at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette
St. John’s Episcopal Church Organ Recital
Eric Van Cleave leaves the Long Center for the Performing Arts, directs the Bach Chorale https://longpac.org

To all friends of the podcast, a special announcement:  ART TAP will soon be announcing a community-wide story project called “Tippecanus Rex”, celebrating the (un)natural history of Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

Listeners of the podcast will be invited to create and submit entries of literary, performing, and musical art that address the invented history of the Tippecanoe County region, through imaginative interpretation and fantastic fabrication.

The project is meant to be whimsical and imaginative, teasing visitors with mythical beasts, imagined histories and fake statistics.  And the creative works of writers, performers, and musicians will be selected for “major awards” and broadcast on this podcast!
Keep an eye out – more to come on this.

I'm very grateful for your support!
