Photo Coverage: Inside the Short North Stage's 1st Cabaret Contest Night!

Short North Stage held it's first Cabaret Contest Night on Wednesday June 15th in Ethel's Bar. All acts were welcome; singers, dancers, poets, comedians, improv troupes, burlesque- performers of any kind though most people gave vocal performances. Winner was determined based on the audience vote after the conclusion of all the performances. The winner received 50% of the entry fees collected with the balance along with spinning wheel games to raise additional funds for Short North Stage's "Make Our Garden Grow' campaign working to raise $10,000 for bathroom renovations.

Performers included: Adam Mesker, Doug Joseph, Lisa McNally, Frank Ruiz & Halley Dunn, Kristie Vuocolo, Lo Jackson, Anthony Tipton with Stephanie Hookway and Taylor Wharton, Andy Batt, Linda Roth, and Matt Ebright.
