Chicago Cabaret Professionals Perform Annual Holiday Cabaret at New Venue

Chicago Cabaret Professionals has announced the return of our favorite holiday event: Merry Measures, to be held at The CheckOut on Monday, December 1 and Tuesday, December 2, both shows begin at 7pm.  This annual fundraiser, to benefit Season of Concern, includes two nights of amazing holiday music with two wonderful casts.  

This year, the event will be at an exciting new venue in Chicago: The CheckOut, located at 4116 N Clark Street, in a transformed former 7-Eleven.  The CheckOut is operated by Chicago-based nonprofit Access Contemporary Music. It serves ACM’s mission of making music a visible, accessible, and transformative part of everyday life—through concerts, lessons, and creative experiences that support well-being and connection. 

Chicago Cabaret Professionals President Carla Gordon says “Merry Measures starts your holiday with the joy of our members’ music, that comes straight from the heart.”  Gordon says CCP will donate all proceeds from both performances to Season of Concern, an organization that supports Chicago theater artists in times of need.
