Acorn tells stories ‘after hours’

Published 6:16 pm Sunday, March 4, 2012

The Acorn Theater in Three Oaks  tried something new last weekend when it invited five Chicago-area entertainers to tell their most embarrassing true stories to an audience of strangers.
The result was some of the funniest, most shocking and, sometimes, disgusting hours of entertainment you’ll find anywhere in southwest Michigan.
“We look forward to offending you deeply,” said storyteller Scott Whitehair prior to opening the show.
The evening had just one casualty as an elderly woman walked out during one particularly intimate story involving three men in a New York apartment.
Everyone else seemed to be genuinely entertained.
Two more storytelling shows planned for March 22 and April 26. Both shows start at 8:30 p.m., and tickets cost $10.
