Story by: Ami Bbrown
The Odell Williamson Auditorium has a great lineup for 2018, and so does local Theatre. Take a look at what is happening in February.

The Vagina Monologues
Join Us As We Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of “The Vagina Monologues” and the Founding of V-Day, the Global Activist Movement to End Violence Against Women and Girls,  Brunswick Little Theatre is proud to announce our first ever production of The Vagina Monologues to be performed February 2-4, 2018. Based on Eve Ensler’s award winning play of the same name, “The Vagina Monologues” has grown into a worldwide phenomenon in an attempt to end violence against women and girls. For our inaugural year, we will be partnering with Coastal Horizon’s Rape Crises Center to bring TVM Southport to life. As our beneficiary, the RCC will receive 90% of all funds raised. The remaining 10% will go back to the national V-Day organization to continue their work of funding crisis centers and shelters, educating communities, and changing laws in order to protect women and girls.
Performances for this limited run will be February 2nd and 3rd at 7:30 pm and February 4th at 3 pm on our main stage at 8068 River Road SE, Southport. All tickets will be $20 and can be purchased online at www.brunswicklittletheatre.com or at Ricky Evans Gallery in downtown Southport. Due to the mature themes and graphic nature of some of the monologues, this is not recommended for those under 18.

Lucy Kaplansky
She started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega, Steve Forbert, The Roches, and others. With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone’s favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things for them; in fact, The New York Times said it was “easy to predict stardom for her.”
