You may not have seen me, but you’ve certainly heard me. I\u2019m the microphone at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center and though I\u2019m small, I\u2019ve carried big dreams. From Broadway showstoppers to stand-up comedians, from children\u2019s first stage moments to family magic, I\u2019ve been there, trembling with excitement, vibrating with laughter, and catching every heartfelt word. But behind every powerful performance, there\u2019s something even more vital than sound – there\u2019s you.<\/p>\n\n\n
