We start!

A month ago we officially formed the Niverville Arts and Culture Group. We have several ideas and visions, this blog and accompanying website being one of them. Mostly we are about encouraging Art and Culture in and around Niverville. I hope visitors will engage in discussions here and help us shape the direction we take.

Last night was the final performance of Get Married or Die Trying, a play produced by our local drama club. I sat about seven rows back and it reminded me of one of the reasons why we formed this group. I would love to have a permanent stage in town with lighting and sound set in place. So much work goes into these productions yet the performance is always held in a less-than-ideal venue. The facility last night held about 200-250 people but that meant some sitting on the long staircase: good view, bad seat. All in all though, I enjoyed the production - lots of laughs.

So, are you from the area? Do you have any ideas or opinions about Art and Culture in the area? Come in, sit down and have a chat.
