assistant for opera diva
Renee Fleming.
At Corbin’s 25th anniversary
celebration a few years

Foundation, an arm of the Arts
Council of Stuart and Martin
County, announced the establishment
of a scholarship in

than $10,000 was pledged.
Stuart resident Ginger
Baldwin, legislative assistant
to Pruitt, remembers a night
at the Lyric Theatre when she
was board president. “We
were having a huge, necessary
fund-raiser with busloads of
important patrons in attendance
and introducing our
new movie projector. Although
we had tested and retested the
new equipment beforehand,
that night the projector blew a
fuse and stopped the movie in
the middle. I could see my life
passing before me, as people
became more fidgety waiting
