Years ago, they were smoking a pork butt in the back yard. I got a call from Mike saying, “I was thinking about building a smokehouse in our Yard”. My response, from the register at the grocery store, was 'That would be great!' When I returned home that afternoon, there was an excavation truck leveling the spot where, hours later, a smoke house was built.” -Danielle Gallop Mike is a professional who will stop at nothing to bring you the best food and provide the best experience out there. When they create an idea with you, it becomes their “smokehouse”. They will not bring in an excavation truck, but they will build everything to suit you. This puts Twins among the best &amp; good places to eat.

Merryall Community Center, Inc.

A LATE–BLOOMER NEW YORK CITY ACTOR chooses to commit a singular act of charity—serving free coffee to a small segment of the city’s 150,000+ homeless population living on its affluent Union Square. In the process, he discovers a familial connection with this colorful but broken cadre of characters. As COVID overtakes Manhattan, his experiences among the poor lead him into a “dark night of the soul,” from which he ultimately emerges, finding reconciliation with God and true affirmation of the Franciscan belief that “it is in giving that we receive.”Written &amp;&nbsp;Performed by Mark LanhamPlease bring nonperishable food item for the New Milford Food Bank. (Suggestions: cans of tuna, boxes of breakfast cereal.)Tickets $25 in Advance. Students $15
