Some of my most memorable nights at the Alys Stephens Center have not been seated watching a big name performer. Many have been spent outside in our courtyard listening to a local performer and socialing with friends, both old and new. That's why I'm so excited about our new series called AFTER WORK & OUTDOORS. This series gives us a chance to showcase Birmingham's great talent.
And, we encourage you to blog in your opinions and comments on these local musicians. Let's get a dialogue going - this is your performing arts center after all.
