Thanksgiving installment of THE LINEUP a buffet of talent.

Today, we return to last year's Days Of Cabaret Gratitude with THE COOL CAT.

Three nights of cabaret artistry on display was heaven at times, and a long haul at others.

Last night at Rose Theater The Mabel Mercer Foundation kicked off the 34th Annual Cabaret Convention and Broadway World photographer Conor Weiss was in the house.

The cast and patrons of The Mabel Mercer Foundation gathered with artistic director KT Sullivan at the Algonquin Hotel for an elegant after party celebrating the first night of the Cabaret Convention.

They're swell and just a couple of the acts that you can catch up with at the Cabaret Convention concerts that are around the corner.

Birdland recently presented Jeff Harnar in “A Collective Cy,” celebrating the PS Classics album release of the songs of master songwriter Cy Coleman. Check out photos from the event here!
