Do You Know The Old Lady on Brady??

There is a new book in town and you really need to get it!
The author of the book is Jamie M. Townsend and the beautiful book is Memoirs of the Old Lady:  Tulsa's Historic Brady Theatre Tells Her Story.
Jamie is a 3rd generation native Tulsan, graduate of T.U and thoroughly devoted to the Brady Theatre.  Her bio tells of the many coincidences between the Brady and her family. 
The 100 year history of the Brady is a fascinating story.  Jamie's book has the entire list of events which have taken place at the Brady since 1914.
The Brady has been know as Tulsa Convention Hall and Tulsa Municipal Theatre.  It has been the performing space for so many different kinds of actors, singers, dancers and speakers.  Truly, Tulsa is proud of the long, long history of this building and the fact that it is still alive.
Hats off to Peter Mayo for years ago buying the Old Lady and saving her from destruction.
Sweet Tooth is one of the stores in Tulsa at which you can purchase Jamie's book.  Cost is $35.00 and with all the photos and information is well worth every penny.
A portion of the proceeds from the sales will benefit the Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa. 
We are proud to be working with Jamie on the sale of this book and we are looking forward to a special afternoon in December where we have several local artists and writers in our store to meet, greet and sign their works.
Stay tuned, folks.  Let's support our local arts and our local stores.
