Confessions of a performing arts junkie

All my life I have enjoyed the performing arts.. concerts, theatre, Broadway productions, dance.. you name it, I supported it, and in more ways than one.  I have been giving great portions of my disposable income to the Arts.  I've had active memberships in every performing arts venue, along with public television donations etc.  Well, sorry folks, today I'm out of cash. I still get calls from the NY Philharmonic, the NJ Symphony, NJPAC, NJN, and various other theater and arts groups.  I feel very sad that I can no longer support their missions.
Buying a 350.00 ticket to a Broadway show was very doable for me a couple of years ago... however, today I have found ways to see great productions for only 30.00 or even for free.  I recently saw a production of 42nd Street that was really off, off Broadway.. by about 100 miles!  But, the actors were superb and I got that same warm and fuzzy feeling as if I had just spent 300 bucks to see a Broadway show.  Also, there are so many free concerts by community bands and orchestras... many of which are excellent. Last week, I saw a concert by "The Kings Brass".. they were absolutely breathtaking and asked only for a small donation.. we gave them ten dollars for the three of us... can't find a better deal than that.  So, despite my lack of money, I can still fuel my addiction to the Arts.. Hey, it's one of life's better additions!
