So this week, my friend Barb and I decided to check out the Hamilton nightlife for the Proud Hamilton blog. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it. I got to thinking about my favourite places here in Hamilton. I have to say the variety is one of my favourite [...]

I had never been to the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH) before, so I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived, I was greeted by Jocelyn McKeown (my tour guide and friend) and Steve Denyes, communications manager. We kept the small talk short and went straight to business. Within 30 seconds of introductions, I was quickly escorted to a room full of African art and sculptures. I later learned that the art was part of a larger exhibit called a The Dance of Life: The Tanenbaum African Exhibition. While mesmerized by my surroundings, I was introduced to Larissa Ciupka, director of marketing. We did a quick vlog and then off I went to begin my personal tour with Jocelyn.

What do La Boheme, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Rent all have in common…other than all being award winning versions of musical theatre?
