With the look of a '60s beatnik coffeehouse, the evening will feature a jazz performance by the Mike Frost Jazz Trio, the eclectic sound of harmonicist Danny Dunaway and an original short play featuring two ACP favorites, Nancy Hansen and Russ Snow. "ACP's Coffeehouse offers a unique opportunity to enjoy large-scale entertainment in a small-scale setting. I think the quality of the acts combined with the intimacy of the venue make for an evening of entertainment that is not to be missed.
