Condolances to the Brundage and Williams Families

July 2007

The Portland Theatre Brigade is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Brigade parent Janene Brundege, and of her daughter, our youngest loyal patron, little Abigail. Our thoughts are with our good friend and accomplished Brigade actor Quintin Brundege as he recovers from his injuries from the tragic auto accident that took his mother and sister, as well as his friend Tyler Williams.

The Portland Theatre Brigade urges everyone to travel safely on our roads this summer and always, so that young voices may live on to be honored, not silenced.
