"All the World's A Stage"
An Evening of Cabaret Style Entertainment
(ACTS' Fundraiser 6/2/07)

 

It was a HOT night in downtown Concord, but things were chillin' at 51 Walden Street for "All the World's A Stage" An Evening of Cabaret Style Entertainment - a fundraiser for ACTS coordinated by alumni Lenni Kmiec.  The event featured ACTS' alumni, current students and guest performers, and the packed house was very receptive to the treats they had to enjoy... and I ain't talking about the yummy cookies with the pink frosting in the lobby!  In the evening's line-up were:
