This Acorn is sprouting some new growth:
The Acorn Theater in Three Oaks, Michigan, is changing for the better. As of January 1, 2013, we will be changing to a traditional theater season concept, open between May 24th (the 10th Anniversary of The Acorn) when we open with American singer-songwriter Livingston Taylor, and the end of the year.
In addition to this change, we are planning some exciting new series of programs, including a monthly Sunday musical brunch program; a traditional theater series; a children’s series; and more. We are also working on booking popular performances as special events.
Look for some very special surprises to reward our regular audience for your patience during this hiatus. These events will be listed on our website, newsletter, and social media, so be sure to sign up (we are planning a few “invite all your friends” kind of events! We also have a few events before the start of our regular season; we will post them on our website and eblast and social media.
