Before we get started on all the theater offerings, I want to make sure you know about a sweet, unplugged, easy going free concert being served up by the Brass Quintet of the Brevard Symphony Orchestra. The quintet will perform from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, on the front porch of the BSO’s headquarters — the historic Winchester House, 1500 Highland Ave., Melbourne. So bring a blanket or a chair…sit down on the front lawn and enjoy some live music. For more information, click here.
