The Beautiful City Project Will Host March Cabaret CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

The Beautiful City Project has announced the cast of its interactive March cabaret, CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. With over 30 performers coming ready with 3 60-second cuts of songs, the audience will choose which of the 3 songs it wants to hear throughout the night. The audience is in complete control of the content through the evening, all coordinated through state-of-the-art voting from their smartphones. Proceeds will go to Chicago Voyagers, an organization whose mission is to empower youth through adventure therapy programs that foster healthy relationships and skills for life success. Described as an "Adventure Programs for Teens", patrons can learn more at www.chicagovoyagers.com.
