“It’s a little bit of the different things we do,” says Julie Walkins, director of the project. The Matthews Reader’s Theater has been meeting since 2017 and the group enjoys exploring a wide variety of theatrical and poetic pieces in an informal environment. Like grabbing lunch with a like-minded friend the Bellman Brown Bag Series creates a gathering space for sipping your soda, chomping on chips, and meeting with other members of the community to just experience the joy of living.
As we carry-on through the lunch hour we hope you enjoy a comfortable seat at our table and the splendor of your surroundings. We welcome you to invite friends, family, and even that crazy co-worker to try something new at noon!

ABOUT THE BELLMAN BROWN BAG SERIES
The Bellman Brown Bag series is a humanities program designed to explore ideas, history, literature, art, and culture. The Brown Bag program was developed by Dr. Stewart Bellman in the 1990’s. Recognizing the Matthews Opera House as an ideal venue for the exploration of humanities topics, he engaged a line-up of speakers to present programs on a range of humanities topics each month.
Dr. Bellman was a professor of English at Black Hills State University, Spearfish, SD. His teaching career spanned thirty years. Bellman retired from BHSU and passed away in November 2002.
Programs are presented on the second Wednesday of each month, noon to 1 pm. Designed to begin and end within the lunch hour, patrons are invited to bring their lunch, if desired, or simply enjoy an hour of learning and entertainment. This is an opportunity to gain insight into themes that touch our daily lives.
