While out Christmas shopping, this acting teacher/jack of all trades who tries to keep a theatre for kids afloat ran into this foreign born A- list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee/amazing person. They had met previously on a movie where our acting teacher had a small role and they got to talking. One thing led to another and our actress dropped in to the theatre to run lines and hang out with the kids for an hour and also wrote a check which will keep the place open for another year.
