View Comments If you are ready to see some live music this year, you’re in luck. With mask mandates lifting and many things returning to normal, live shows are making a comeback. The Appell Center for the Performing Arts has announced its first shows in the 2021-2022 Strand Theatre season. “This initial list focuses on what our audiences love best – and need the most – live music and comedy”, said Todd Fogdall, president and CEO of the Appell Center. Fogdall said that the center has offered limited-capacity shows during the past year, and its last live show was on April 30.
