Ty's Take
This time of year in the valley, when the wind comes down off the high country and settles into that bone-dry cold, people start looking for reasons to get indoors and be around each other. The arts community here knows it, and that's why you'll see the stages filling up with everything from folk storytellers swapping songs to one actor taking on forty different characters in a single show. It's the kind of thing that reminds you Adams State and the local theater scene aren't just what happens on campus, they're part of what holds a town together when the days get short and the altitude starts wearing on you. These aren't big productions with big budgets, but they're real performances by people who care about their craft, and in a place like Alamosa, that matters just as much as anything else you'll read in these pages.
