Tucked away on Generations Drive in Three Oaks sits the historic, regal building that houses the Acorn Theatre. It is known for its’ exciting array of performances, offering live music by local musicians and famous acts, open mic nights, and more. In 2021, The Acorn hosted over 50 shows, and still has two to go. Their Holiday Open Mic Night will take place on Wednesday December 22nd at 8:00 pm, and Christmas At The Acorn on Thursday December 23rd will feature the Harbor Country Opera led by founder Robert Swan, also at 8:00pm.
The new year is almost upon us and The Acorn’s upcoming 2022 season is overflowing with wonderful shows:

Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre and The Martin Barre Band take the stage on January 19th at 7:00pm, and will showcase Jethro Tull’s most popular album Aqualung, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
