June Happenings

School is almost out and another summer is upon us! What better way to begin your summer fun than with your friends at Brunswick Little Theatre? With our new home on River Road, we are able to offer fun opportunities like never before, and we are really excited.

Next weekend, Sunday, June 14, former Mr. Roger's Neighborhood puppeteer Fred Michael will be

performing his marionette show Circus of Strings free of charge at 3:00 pm on Brunswick Little Theatre's main stage. This promises to be a fun afternoon for the entire family, and something pretty unique even given a thriving Wilmington area arts scene. Seating is limited to the 100 or so chairs we have, so you can chance the first come, first served policy OR email Frank Blackmon at frankblackmon01@gmail.com to reserve your seats in advance. Again, this is a FREE performnce, but donations will be gratefully accepted :-)

And talk about unique opportunities, how about the chance to build and learn to operate your very own marionette? Our own Frank Blackmon has been studying with Fred Michael and is offering a workshop to teach YOU just that! The cost is $80 per person and the class is open to anyone 12 years old and up (there will be use of hot glue and some power tools). The workshop will meet Mondays and Tuesdays for  four weeks:  June 22 & 23, June 28 & 29, July 6 & 7 and July 13 &14. You may choose the afternoon session (2-4 pm) or evening session (7-9 pm).  The workshop will conclude with a performance of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" at Southport's Harper Library on Monday, July 27 at 11 am. Six volunteers will be needed for the show. To enroll in the Marionette Workshop, please email Frank Blackmon at frankblackmon01@gmail.com.
