We don’t claim to be responsible for the change in the seasons, but we will take credit for whatever fun you can find in the Fort AN EMBASSY THEATRE Wayne area while they’re happening. FUNDRAISING EVENT Of course, the main point of our annual Home & Garden Show cover is, you guessed it, the Fort Wayne Home & Garden Show, and Mark Hunter has the goods on page 2. FEATURING Hunter also revisits George Frayne (aka Commander Cody) who returns to C2G Music Hall the first weekend of March. The story is on page 5. Sandwiched between these two features is Heather Miller’s profile of Suzanne Galazka, a well-known Fort Wayne artist and art teacher and a FAWN LIEBOWITZ familiar face to anyone who has visited Artlink in recent years. PERFORMING There’s more, of course (there always is). We’ve got a Pick on a hip-hop show at CS3, and columnist Nick Braun touts an upcoming Ricky Rat show TALKING HEADS at the Rail in his Out and About. Additionally, there are production notes on A Little Princess, lots of reviews and calendars and more. We promise that, if you look hard enough, you’ll find plenty of things to do THE ORANGE OPERA and see, no matter the weather. So get out, have fun and remember to tell PERFORMING ’em who sent you. • features FLIX ................................................ 18 B ILLY JOEL Side Effects FARE WARNING ............................ 20 FT.
