Wayside Theatre Intern Cabaret Showcase Scheduled for 7/1-2

With the continued success of its production of Shenandoah, Wayside Theatre is pleased to announce the addition of an exciting event to their 2010 summer performance calendar. Wayside's Intern Company will take off their tattered Union and Confederate uniforms and wipe away their battle dirt for an intimate night of music and cocktails with their first planned "Intern Cabaret Showcase" of the 2010-2011 Season. For two nights only, Thursday July 1st and Friday July 2nd, the Curtain Call Café of the theatre will be converted to a performance stage offering a free cabaret to the community.

Middletown has been treated to the beginnings of what will be an exceptionally unique and diverse season of characters from Artistic Director Warner Crocker and his professional Acting Company, whom have taken their audiences through civil war in the Shenandoah Valley in the musical, Shenandoah. Meanwhile, the community is eagerly anticipating the theatre's next main stage production of the comedy, Dead Man's Cell Phone. However, with all of the excitement that this season will surely offer, this Intern Cabaret Showcase will feature some of the theatre's budding talent in a completely new light.

Warner Crocker, Artistic Director, stated, "What makes their Cabaret so unique is that it offers the community a rare glimpse at the actual people and personalities that have kept Middletown entertained night after night on Wayside's main stage. The company of young professional actors will be able to drop their characters and on-stage oddities and perform material that is close to them. It also makes for a perfect opportunity for these talented individuals to perform the songs and scenes, and instrumental performances that they feel best showcase their talent and personalities, which theatre patrons wouldn't otherwise get to witness."

Wayside Theatre's Intern Cabaret Showcase begins at 11:00 pm on Thursday July 1st and Friday July 2nd following that evening's performance of Shenandoah at the Wayside Theatre's Curtain Call Café. It is fre of charge - donations appreciated. For more information call (540) 869-1776. Wayside Theatre is located at 7853 Main St. in Middletown, VA.
