The acclaimed Sundays In Summer Cabaret Series at the Arthur Newman Theater in Palm Desert will be back for it's fifth season beginning Sunday, April 6th. With more than 125 shows so far, series producer Les Michaels of Life Is A Cabaret, says, "the audience praises and support grows every year with record-breaking ticket sales", jokingly adding, "Of the 60 plus performers wanting dates, all 29 spots were taken in only 12 hours from the time they were announced - so I guess we're doing something right".

Shirley Ritenour performed Wagner, Puccini, Albeniz, Granados, Gershwin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Styne, Lane and Holdridge on December 6, 2013 in the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. Scroll down for photos!
