The Coffee Gallery Backstage features excellent sound, theatrical lighting, comfortable seating and a non-alcohol format that focuses the attention of the audience on the talents of the act. There are no distractions; the audience pays a premium price for the privilege of sitting close to the performer, or performers, they have come to see and listen to.
