Every year we look ahead to the arts and cultural fall season with the Fall Arts Preview on the XPN Morning Show. This year, the features will air September 6-9, 2011. Be sure to tune in as Michaela Majoun puts the spotlight on a variety of visual and performing arts in our area, including Bowerbird,
