Out of the box is an expression to describe creative and nonconformal thinking. This is exactly what you will discover with the 9 unique local talents that are performing with the Out of the Box series at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts. Out of the Box, Emerging Artists Series is back for its ninth year. Support locally curated artists Thursdays January through March in the Miller Studio Theatre. In collaboration with Paul Shugrue on 89.5 WHRV, this great after-work event is free and open to the public.
