Last week, Broadway's Faith Prince returned to The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY) to lead the annual week-long Summer Cabaret Conference alongside award-winning cabaret performer Michael Kirk Lane, Director of Cabaret Programming at 92NY. Check out photos of the event.
Broadway star Lindsay Mendez joined the conference as a featured guest teacher for one day, alongside special guests Sally Mayes and Carolyn Montgomery.
"This year's student participants and auditors of all ages proved that the art of cabaret is alive and well at 92NY," said Michael Kirk Lane.
This year's musical directors were Yasuhiko "Yaz" Fukuoka and John Bronston. Featured panelists included Ari Axelrod, Jim Caruso, Michael D'Angora, Natalie Douglas, Sheridan Glover, Julie Miller, Susie Mosher, Sidney Myer, Amanda Raymond, Jennifer Tepper, and Kelly Wohlford.
The conference featured sessions on crafting cabaret patter, the history of cabaret, business aspects of the profession, one-on-one coaching in song interpretation, and post-class social gatherings at a nearby piano bar.
