Brucemore and SPT Theatre are excited to bring A Modern Salon back to the Great Hall of the mansion! Join us for an evening of music and stories with SPT founders and a special guest. Emulating the Parisian salons at the turn of the 20th century, guests can experience an evening of wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts as if they were friends of the Douglas family who called the estate home.
This year’s event will feature SPT members Jane Pini, Janelle Lauer, and Gerard Estella with guests Adam Witte and Lincoln Ginsberg.
