"The latest undertaking of Brian Palumbo’s award-winning Top Hat Productions, “Cafe” will encompass both of Palumbo’s principal loves: musical theater and food. As chef-owner of Selah’s restaurant in downtown Struthers, Palumbo not only directed and stars in the show, but he’ll even be catering the “dinner” part of the evening’s entertainment."

Everyone is looking for a bargain in these tough economic times and Top Hat Productions is currently offering a doozy of a deal...Smokey Joe's Cafe combines a three-course meal and an outstanding evening of live theatre for one low price.  "A rousing tent-style powerhouse" "Can I get an amen?"
