When Maddie Falcone started shopping for a prom dress her sophomore year of high school, the sticker shock didn’t take long to sink in.

Tania Miller Tuesday morning at Atticus. "One of the first things I believe is that music is for everyone," she said. "And that's really truly a passion for me. I think about myself as this young kid from a rural place, and I'm in love with classical music. I can translate the humble place that I started into this extraordinary world of expression, of art, of the highest art." Lucy Gellman Photo.

Mike DeCarlo traced his blue pencil over the page. Stroke by stroke, the pointy hair and wicked scowl of Sideshow Bob, the high-cultured villain from The Simpsons, began to manifest under his pencil tip. First the light blue pencil for sketching the general shape, then a charcoal one for the defined linework he’s so known for.
