Real Good for FREE: Two Eclectic Nights at The Egg, 10/16-17/12

The New York State Presenters Network Fall Conference is being held this week at the Empire State Plaza in Albany, featuring panel discussions on programming, audience development, marketing, fundraising, venue management and other issues pertaining to presenting the performing arts.

And that’s great news for Nippertown fans of music and dance.

Why?

Because as part of the conference, The Egg will be hosting two nights of showcase performances – featuring a diverse array of performances from acoustic blues to gospel-jazz to modern dance. The showcases are open to the public, and better yet, they’re FREE.
