Mike Honsowetz says you're missing out if you haven't been to Village Theater at Cherry Hill lately.

Mike Honsowetz knew exactly how he'd use his Canton Patch microphone time: Mike, whose volunteer time inclues being an usher at Village Theater at Cherry Hill, wanted to remind everyone about its diverse programming.
