In response to the mounting needs of individuals and numerous organizations impacted by the Saturday, July 31st flood in Old Ellicott City, MD, Toby's Dinner Theatre will join with Glenelg Country School's Performing Arts Chair, Carole Graham Lehan, to present The Main Thing: Cabaret Series. The first two events will harken back to a time-honored "post-show" tradition in which talented actors provide a NY-style Broadway experience in late-night entertainment for one hour after the main show concludes. On selected dates, the evening's theatre-goers will be able to join walk-up guests for a cash-only cover charge of $10 per person. Proceeds and bar sales will go to EC Partnership relief fund.

It's a gift that Matthew Gardiner is directing Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman's award-winning musical as Signature Theatre's season finale.
