She taught swimming for more than 40 years and attributed her lifelong fitness to swimming and her mental sharpness to her years as an actor.

Not long after getting married, Doreen she joined the YMHA (Theatre) Players.

She was also active in the Winnipeg Little Theatre, and in an amateur theatre group headed by John Hirsch, their drama teacher and director (or as Brownstone says “he was our Theatre School”).

During one of the rehearsals with established Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent, they talked about where they would go from here and Brownstone suggested forming their own theatre company.

This led to the birth of Theatre 77, with Hirsch as the artistic director.

Brownstone has starred in over 100 productions.
