 The red carpet will be rolled out at Breezy Point Resort on Saturday night as the Brainerd Area Theater and Actors Guild will hold its inaugural red carpet gala. The gala will feature an awards ceremony similar to the Tony Awards or Academy Awards with categories such as Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress and Best Director. The event is already generating higher than expected ticket sales. Well, when we started, when I started selling tickets a few months ago, I was really hoping for about 50 tickets. I would have been really happy with 50 people coming, but right now we have about 145, 150 people attending. I'm also really excited to say that we've had a lot of just people from the public reach out to me or through the Guild and want to come just to mingle with the people that they see on stage throughout the years. The Guild is over two years old and includes a network of three theater groups in Brainerd and Pequot Lakes.
