And a look a theater with “Staging Ground,” where Mark Minnick, Artistic Producer of Toby’s Dinner Theatre and Brynn Williams, Program and Education Director, Columbia Center for Theatrical Arts, will discuss plans for Toby’s and CCTA once construction is completed on the Performing Arts Center where they will be relocated.
