In Case You Missed It!
We had a good crowd at last month’s Second Tuesday Talk with Stuart Callari. If you missed it, be sure to watch the replay to find out how the Brunswick Little Theatre got started and to hear about Stuart’s fascinating life – with a mention of her interactions with Raúl Castro and Joanne Woodward!
