IN THE WORKS Comes to The Duplex Cabaret Theatre, 10/21

Honeck-Moss Productions is proud to present "In The Works."

This month, Sunday Oct 21st at 9:30pm features the works of composers: Lisa Chamberlain, Robert Grashaw, Lauren Gundrum & Brandon Lambert, and Jack & Benny Lipson. Hosted by: Thomas Honeck.
