Just back from Stephen West's performance at the Encore

Thank you to Stephen West and Dan Cooney for putting on tonight's Concert Series show. It was my first experience with live opera singing and West represented his craft with aplomb.

Before the Encore folks began the series I always wondered how best to utilize their stage between regular shows -- usually as I was getting out of my seat and leaving the theater after seeing one.

These smaller shows are a perfect way to keep the dust out of the theater, not to mention provide more variety and opportunity to be entertained in Dexter. It's a shame that the series doesn't run for two weekends, as I plan on writing a review for an entertainment section in next week's Dexter Leader.

What a blast!
