Pack your brown bag lunch and join us at the Arts and Culture Brown Bag Luncheon for the presentation of “Anatomy of a Production” by Ron Watson as he breaks down the details of what it takes to bring the large productions at the Palace to life; from play selection to casting, inspiration and design, and more. The presentation will be followed by updates from arts and culture stakeholders in the Downtown Georgetown Cultural District.
