What A Weekend, What A Season Starter!

Hello, All!
What a great weekend...Brian & I went to the glorious new Manhattan cabaret room, 54 Below to catch Austin Cabaret Theatre alums Jason Graae, Faith Prince, and Alex Rybeck in their hysterical show "The Prince & The Showboy." It is truly my new favorite room in the City--they "did it right" when putting this venue together. It's gorgeous as well as state-of-the-art. Alex Rybeck, who is New York's go-to Musical Director did the festive arrangements, and you'll experience his genius during our Holiday show at Austin Cabaret! As icing on the cake, we ran into Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, who is headlining our January show with his critically acclaimed cabaret performance. It was fun to catch up with this talented young man, as well as discuss a few "business" details for his trip to Austin!

I'm also incredibly excited about the start of the Austin Cabaret Theatre 2012-2013 Season! And what a start we have for you...Billy Stritch has been to ACT, but never in a solo capacity!!! And what a performance it is--Billy will be bringing us his smash hit cabaret singing the songbook of the incredible Mel Torme'! Many of you have enjoyed Billy when he's been here with Jim Caruso, or Klea Blackhurst, or as Musical Director for Liza Minnelli when she played the Long Center...and you do NOT want to miss him along with Utah Hamrick on bass and Nathan Langfitt on drums. You can order tickets for Billy's show by clicking HERE! 

If you have a group or have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line at stuart@austincabaret.org and if you haven't yet ordered your Season Tickets, you can download the order form on the "Current Season" tab at www.austincabaret.org
See you at the cabaret, chums!

The Blog is Back!

Hello, Austin Cabaret Theatre friends and fans!
Yes, it has been a while since sharing news, events, and all the delicious cabaret dish with you...and for that, I apologize. It has been a crazy time, a time of changes, but a good time as well. I encourage you to visit the ACT website and check out the upcoming 12th Anniversary Season...no, I can't believe it either. You can download a Season Ticket order form on the "Current Season" page, and all shows are now available for single ticket purchase, too.
What...? What have I been up to...? Well, I've managed to catch up on some of the cabaret "scouting" I have needed to do. Also, I've spent this summer teaching trapeze at the Omega Institute in upstate New York, and am currently doing the same in the Hamptons.
(some of you don't know about my secret "circus" life, although after my last show the proverbial cat is out of the bag...)
I feel very blessed to be doing what I love and I THANK YOU for the support and encouragement. Keep coming out to the Cabaret, my chums--I look forward to seeing you there!
