Betty Buckley's picture opens this season's blog and her performance at Hanover Theater September 20th was nothing short of First Class.  Arrangement after arrangement was performed with such style and grace that for that evening Worcester was the Performance Capital of the World.  Thank you Betty and your talented musicians for a truly magically performance.        

This fall I would like to showcase the Author's and Performers that have appeared on my show and encourage other talented and creative persons to contact me for consideration on "Ramona Interviews".  Supporting the creative energy of our region and the world has always been our mission and it is through the efforts of public access stations like WCCA TV13 that your word can be heard.  

Don't let this fall past without enjoying the numberous arts and cultural activities hosted by your own community.  It is a great way to support local businesses and expand your insights into the diversity that makes us uniquely New England.
