DC Cabaret Network Members’ Only Showcase 2012
Posted on: March 30, 2012
I got to help produce and co-host last Sunday night’s wonderful DC Cabaret Network Members’ Only Showcase celebrated at the Arts Club of Washington (held March 25, 2012). The “MOS” is a yearly event for “DCCN.” It is a performance opportunity open to any paid-up member of the DC Cabaret Network. There is a lottery date and the first 12 performers to enter the lottery get a slot. Last Sunday night’s crew of performers each did a splendid job. Also fabulous that night were Musical Director Alex Tang and Stage Director Michael Miyazaki.
Here, I get to share the stage with Alex Tang (at the piano) and Michael Miyazaki (my partner in crime):

This event was particularly meaningful to me as it was my last event as a Board Member of the DC Cabaret Network. I recently resigned from the Board of the DC Cabaret Network (after 7 years of service and hundreds of DC Cabaret Network Newsletters) in order to be able to devote more time to Sing Books with Emily efforts. I will remain, however, a faithful member of the DC Cabaret Network and practitioner of and evangelist for the Art of Cabaret.
