The Brown Paper Box Co.'s Miscast Cabaret Set for 3/23

The Brown Paper Box Co. presents CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: A Miscast Cabaret on Saturday, March 23 at 8pm. This one-night cabaret will feature appearances from The Brown Paper Box Co. artistic associates and former cast members performing as characters they would never play due to age, gender, voice type, race, etc. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN will be presented at Davenport's Piano Bar & Cabaret, 1383 N. Milwaukee Avenue.

The Brown Paper Box Co. likes to break the mold of how a show 'should' look or how characters 'should' be played based on previous incarnations. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN will be an exciting night to reexamine the characters we think we know in a relaxed cabaret setting. Expect surprise song selections from composers David Yazbek, Cy Coleman, Stephen Sondheim, Richard Rogers, and more!

Tickets for the one-night 8pm performance are $15 and there is a two-drink minimum at Davenport's Piano Bar & Cabaret. Reservations for the event can be made at www.DavenportsPianoBar.com and additional show information can be found at www.BrownPaperBox.org.
