Brunswick Little Theatre Promotes Brunswick County Historical Society
By Thom Clemmons
Brunswick Little Theatre (a nonprofit, all volunteer organization) will donate 10% of its profits from “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” to the Brunswick County Historical Society. “Forum” will be presented at Odell Williamson Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Feb.18-20 and 3 p.m. on Feb. 21. Brunswick Little Theatre supports other nonprofit organizations in this manner for every show for which it charges admission as a way of giving back to the community.
The Brunswick County Historical Society was organized in 1954 as a nonprofit organization whose mission is to collect, preserve, evaluate, and publicize the history of Brunswick County and the Lower Cape Fear through lectures, slides, and discussions. The public is invited to attend informative meetings which provide opportunities to hear knowledgeable speakers on a wide variety of topics relating to Brunswick County. The Society publishes a newsletter, which contains articles on its activities, research papers, and articles that pertain to genealogy.
BCHS meet four times a year at the Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation building on Hwy. 17 in Supply, N.C. at 7:30 on the second Monday of Feb., May, Aug., and Nov. The Society also supports the Local History/Genealogical section of the Brunswick Community College Library. Research materials include books on local history, genealogy aids and the complete set of North Carolina census records on microfilm.
