i just came home from ushering a production of "babes in toyland," at the Richmond Civic Centre. the company was six people strong, putting on an hour-long show, and coming from philly. richmond, ca tries to put on at least 3-5 free shows of a varying artistic nature, so that the people of the community have the opportunity to have a wide range of the arts on display or experienced, that they might not usually have the chance to view. there's something very important going on, and here's an example of how slowly, change is inevitable.
