The Henderson County Performing Arts Center held the ALTYs Monday night, its equivalent of the Tony’s, and boy what a show. It wasn’t too flashy, even with 35-50 actors in one building, but we definitely took our turns loosening up the audience as all of the awards were handed out. It couldn’t have been a more fun time.
