It’s every man/woman/child for him/herself, folks. The scary-busy October that arts groups have planned for us is finally here. Leaves are not the only things that will be dropping this month. Warm up, stay hydrated, and please note your reactions to the dance you see out there, because, really, there’s so much that most of us won’t be able to get to! Boo? Or, boo-hoo? Or…oh, boy?
October’s schedule follows after the fold. The big, big, big highlight? Pat Graney Company’s remounting of the Faith triptych at On the Boards. But there’s sooooo many close seconds…Like, for example, Spectrum’s Studio Series…. Enjoy!
