Scott Alan's 2011 Masterclass Cabaret YOU ARE HERE kicks off at The Duplex. YOU ARE HERE is a cabaret exploring dead ends, detours, and taking the next step.
This group of artists, brought together by composer Scott Alan's 2011 performance Master Class, has created a cabaret as the culmination of a year of self-discovery, workshops and collaboration. Through monthly group assignments, we've discovered just how essential we are to each other's process, and how much better life can be when we journey together - wherever we are.
