Best Performing Arts Promoter
Mike Collins
Charlotte Talks, the morning/evening FM mainstay, has become an invaluable PR lifeline for Metrolina arts groups and events, thanks to the diligent efforts of host Mike Collins and his production team at WFAE. Fringe theater exposure on Charlotte Talks has increased dramatically in the wake of Charlotte Reps demise, and Collins is long past depending on the Observer for leads. As the Winthrop University folk who organized the recent Create Carolina Arts Festival can attest, Collins often offers better prepublicity than the Big O.
