Our first show of the year, the romantic musical comedy I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change will open in a new venue for us, The Brunswick Center at Southport, in a little over a month. I Love You will play February 21 and 22 and March 1 at 7:30 pm and on February 23 and March 2 at 3 pm. You can read more about Director Sue MacCallum and her talented cast and crew on our website here and also buy tickets for the show at our online box office. We hope to see you all there - it promises to be a great night out.
On the heels of our first show comes our
annual Fundraiser Dinner and Dance. This year we will be celebrating
Mardi Gras on Fat Tuesday, March 4 at the St. James Community Center
from 6-10 pm. Join us for a night of fun with the Brunswick Big Band and
a delicious New Orleans-inspired dinner including shrimp and grits and a
gourmet pancake bar. It being Mardi Gras, of course there will be a
costume contest, so come in your most creative get-up (Mardi Gras-themed
or any costume that strikes your fancy) to join the fun or come as you
are and enjoy the spectacle (and perhaps vote for the winners). Wine,
beer, food and entertainment are all included our $30/person ticket, so
please come out and party in support of your local community theatre.
Tickets and more information are available here. 
BLT's children and youth programs go into full swing this month. Stagestruck Players has begun work on Dear Edwina JR
with a auditions, casting and a first rehearsal already behind them.
Director Debbie Skillman and her talented group of young thespians will
bring this musical about a middle school-aged advice columnist and her
friends to the Brunswick Center at Southport on March28-30 and April
4-6. If you haven't checked out a Stage Struck performance in the past,
you owe it to yourself to see what a quality show these children
produce. Also beginning this weekend is our Let's PLAY! children's
theater workshop, which filled up all 30 slots within hours of opening
registration. Director Jen Iapalucci will begin the first of eight 3-hour classes designed to both introduce children to the theatrical
arts and hone the skills of experienced young performers. This workshop
will culminate in a Showcase on March 16 to which all are invited. We also have a new opportunity for you to become involved with Brunswick Little Theatre. At its January meeting the board of directors created a new Playreading Committee, charged with reading and rating plays and musicals to create a library of shows that BLT would be interested in and capable of producing in future seasons. Our hope is that this will help encourage new directors to join the BLT family by bringing proposals before the board. Our proposal process hasn't changed and any director, new to BLT or already experienced with our group, is free to propose any show he or she wishes. What we are looking for in connection to this new committee is volunteers to serve as members and ideas for shows the board committee should review. Members should be experienced in at least one area of production (such as acting, movement, music, tech, directing). Anyone interested in joining the committee or who has suggestions for shows to be considered is encouraged to contact committee chairman Debbie Skillman at dskillman@ec.rr.com.
Brunswick Little Theatre thanks you for your support of community theatre. We try hard to do as much as we can while keeping ticket prices as reasonable as possible. One help in that regard is individual and business contributions to, and memberships in, Brunswick Little Theatre. If you were a contributor to BLT in the past, we thank you and hope you will decide to continue your support. Of course, we also welcome new contributing members! All donations of at least $25 will receive mention in our program and all donations and support, be they monetary, time or simply good will, receive our most heartfelt thanks.
