Russell Joel Brown is from Augusta. He’s enjoyed a lengthy career as a Broadway stage actor, appearing in productions like “Smokey Joe’s Café” and “The Lion King.” In this chapter of the Augusta Listening Project – a joint venture between GPB-Augusta and the Greater Augusta Arts Council – we’re hearing the stories of people who launched remarkably successful careers in the arts from a foundation that took its form here in Augusta. In the previous episode, Russell Joel Brown told of seeing his sister, world renowned ballerina Karen Brown, on stage in New York City for the very first time.
