Question #1
Theater - Several plays at the Overture & Milwaukee Rep
Music - Natalie McMaster, Joan Baez, others at the Barrymore
Comments - I haven't had much time in the past year, we've been working
on this campaign
Question #2
Here in Columbus we've been working on restoring the stage in the downtown
City Hall much like the one in Stoughton. I think it's important for the
State to find grant monies for these kinds of projects. The arts are an
important part of a rounded person and community.
Question #3
Absolutely.
Question #4
Essential.
Question #5
Absolutely.
