All are welcome should be beautiful warm day, stop by Raleigh Little Theatre, 301 Pogue St. Raleigh.

“For this reception in honor of Brian, we've invited his colleagues from the Raleigh Arts Commission and RLT supporters. Light refreshments will be provided and there will be brief remarks shortly after 3pm.

We invite you to park in the Theatre’s main lot off of Pogue Street, and no permit is required. The ceremony will be outside and/or in the Sutton Theatre lobby, depending on weather.
