Waiting in line to see a live show is rarelyr a memorable experience. The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford is hoping to change that.
It's giving its patrons a little pre-show entertainment in the form of life-sized video screens outside the venue. On nights the Bushnell has an event, those video screens come to life, showing a series of five-minute performances by local acts that play on a loop.
It’s called the “Local Arts Stage.”
In rotation last month was a performance by “Sky Casper’s Queens.” It was an original show intended specifically for the Bushnell video screens.
On a chilly night last month, I went out to the Bushnell to check out the video screens, and talked with Ryan Glista and Carolyn Paine, the co-producers of the drag show. I also got reaction from patrons as they went into the theater, and put together this audio postcard.
