MJ's Coffeehouse, voted one of the top favorites by local
and regional newspapers and magazines, has ushered in a wide
array of activities over the last several years. While the
coffeehouse operates independently from the theatre, it is
adjoined to the theatre, serving deli sandwiches, soups and
salads, gourmet coffees and teas, specially blended brews,
as well as delectable pastries and ice cream desserts.
The coffeehouse is a magnet for creativity. Poetry readings
and live musical presentations inspire crowds of customers.
A revolving art exhibit provides an outlet for local painters
and photographers to exhibit works to well-populated audiences
of all ages.
The coffeehouse also offers big screen entertainment, such
as televising the Academy Awards, as well as providing board
games, periodicals, and daily newspapers circulating among
the customers. Monday night boasts one of the more popular
evenings, with an open-mic night beginning at 9:30 PM where
musicians, poets, comedians, and philosophers have open reign
of the stage. Much like the Allen Theatre, the coffeehouse
works closely with the Lebanon Valley College community, as
well as the Milton S. Hershey Medical School. The most talented
jazz musicians provide entertainment on selected Thursday
evenings. Play readings as well as comedy improv assist in
continuing a tradition of offering the region a wide variety
of entertainment.
MJ's Coffeehouse is meant to provide a space for people to
relax, not feel hurried, to communicate in a time when personal
communication seems to be at a minimum. It is not uncommon
for students to spend many hours ar MJ's preparing future
academic assignments.
MJ's Coffeehouse is open Sunday and Monday from 3 PM to 11
PM; Tuesday through Thursday 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM and Friday
and Saturday 11:30 AM to Midnight.
