Christie Delbridge - President 2025

Christie is a native of Wilmington, NC, moving west after college. She worked for 32 years in the ski industry in Breckenridge, Colorado, and Park City, Utah. In 2018 returned to the Wilmington area and enjoys being back by the ocean.

During her time in Utah, Christie was

a very active member of both the Timpanogos Valley Theatre and the Egyptian Theatre. She enjoyed everything from being a stage mom for her aspiring actress daughter, creating costumes, set design, singing/acting, assistant directing, office manager, and theater board member. While in Utah she won multiple awards for both set design and as part of a directing team.

Christie joined The Brunswick Little Theatre in 2022 with her debut performance in Bingo, The Winning Musical. She is currently the volunteer coordinator at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center and looks forward to inspiring and organizing volunteer support for our “little” theatre. 

 

 

Victor Gallo

Victor grew up on Long Island, but moved around a bit for work, then settled in northern New Jersey for 24 years before moving to Brunswick County in early 2020.  Victor retired as an actuary, specializing in asset-liability management, investor and regulatory relations, and product development for insurance companies, investment managers, and consulting firms.  Since retiring, he has enjoyed full-time stints as a high school math teacher and as a custom golf club maker.  He has a passion and appreciation for theatre

and the arts, in general, believing that they are essential to keeping us in touch with each other and our humanity.  He has performed in many productions for community theatres in the New York Metropolitan area, in Wilmington, and here at BLT.  Victor has also directed, and served on the board of a professional theatre in New Jersey.

Jeanette Harrison-Sullivan

Although a new member of the Brunswick Little Theatre board of directors in 2024, Jeanette’s fascination with theatre has evolved from two decades of appearing as an on-air journalist for television news programs in San Francisco, Minneapolis, Boston and Portland, OR. Her career as a news reporter was followed by work as a public relations executive in the investment industry where, although not on a stage, she still gained a great deal of “dramatic experience” through many months of acting confident and cheerful during the Market plunge of 2008.

Jeanette has worked with BLT in a full range of capacities-from the back house-painting sets, ushering and sewing costumes to finally taking to the stage recently as a narrator featured in BLT’s 2023 and 2024 productions of Listen to Your Mother. She also appeared in Wilmington in a performance sponsored by the Southeastern Hospice Association.

Jeanette’s family life has always been closely aligned to the world of communication and storytelling, screenplays and scripts, productions and performances, both on and off stage. Married for 37 years to television documentary news producer, Michael Sullivan, Jeanette is a widow now but still is very much a part of the performance world as the proud mother of a daughter who is a film and musical theatre producer based in Los Angeles and a son who is an executive sous chef in Vancourver, WA., and says he copes with daily "drama" in his restaurant kitchen.

Jeanette eagerly anticipates future experiences working with BLT. The highs. The lows. Theatre is a powerful art form.  It provides the ability to create a connection to life through narratives that teach lessons about...well, no one says it better than Oscar Wilde, "I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."

 

Joseph Lomonoco

Growing up in upstate New York, Joe has always been interested in the arts, but it wasn’t until late in life that theatre opportunities became available.  He had a 40-year career in insurance & has been happily retired for several years.  

Joe’s foray into acting & stage management began with the Bifocals Theatre Group in Richmond, VA where he appeared

in several productions including Herding Cats & A Passing Fancy, the Musical.  He was also active with the On The Air Radio Players that performed old radio scripts such as Noirvember and Stay Tuned For Christmas.  Joe has appeared in throughout the Wilmington area including with Panache Theatrical Productions in Liberty Valance, in Senior Moments with Theatre NOW and in Man In Chair, The Drowsy Chaperone and 9 To 5, The Musical with Snow Productions.  You may have seen Joe at The Brunswick Little Theatre in Jack Benny Isn’t 39 Anymore, Once Upon A Mattress, or A Christmas Carol The Musical at The Brunswick Little Theatre. He joined the Brunswick Little Theatre board recently and hopes he can have a positive impact on the various needs of the theatre.
