Notes from the Aisle Seat Episode 10

Welcome to Episode 10 - the Groundhog edition - of Notes from the Aisle Seat, a podcast featuring news and information about the arts in northern Chautauqua County NY, sponsored by the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. Your host is Tom Loughlin, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor and Chair Emeritus of Theatre and Dance at SUNY Fredonia.

Today’s episode features three segments. Prof Todd Proffitt, Chair of Theatre and Dance at SUNY Fredonia, gives us a preview of the upcoming theatre and dance season; Dr. Sarah Hamilton, Ms. Anna Mattix, and Dr. Geralyn Giovannetti discuss their $20,000 grant from the Canada Council for their ensemble, the Can-Am Trio; and vocal illusionist Lynn Trefzger and a special guest star talk about their upcoming show on Friday Feb. 4 at Marvel Theatre (correction - the podcast mentions that Ms. Trefzger's performance is in King Concert Hall. It is in Marvel Theatre, not King. Our apologies for the error).
