SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- For nearly 20 years now, Merriman's Playhouse has been bringing jazz music to the Bend.
What started out as jazz "experiments" conducted by husband-and-wife duo Stephen and Mary Merriman-- has now turned into a full-fledged club, just a stone's throw away from the St. Joseph River.
On Michiana Media, ABC57's Jordan Hatfield sits down with the Merrimans who tell the story behind the playhouse and its journey from dream, to dream come true.
