The Lounge at Dixon Place is now open for business and celebrating its upcoming grand opening with free music nights and a special party. The official grand opening on Thursday, April 8th, will feature music by Amour Obscur, a Weimar-style lounge trio who offer soulful insights into the darker side of love.

The Lounge is open nightly to the public, as well as for pre- and post- theater patrons attending performances in their main theater.
