Theatre Guild closes season with jazz

The last production of the 2000-2001 season at the Theatre Guild of Ancon is not in the nature of a theatrical production. The Guild also presents the occasional highbrow musical event, and thus Panama's outstanding jazz keyboard player and band leader Dino Nugent is making his return to the Ancon Theater on June 16, at 8 pm, this time at the head of the Dino Nugent Trio.
