Dawn Derow News

The petite lady with a big sense of humor and an even bigger wardrobe has a lot to say in a chat with Broadway World Cabaret.

Respected, revered, and loved by friends and fans, Sean Harkness is a musician to whose artistry all should be made aware. Now it happens.

These are tough times. There is no telling when they will get better. Many are choosing to do their shopping, holiday or other, buy patronizing the craftspeople who find themselves out of work at their usual career: show business. Take a look at what these talented folks have to offer, aside from their performance skills.

One of the lucky few who has been able to perform in public this year, Dawn Derow has also spent a little time working indoors. WHITE CHRISTMAS is the result of some of that work.

In the age of digital promotion, there is one surefire way to open doors for yourself: having an online presence.

As a greater number of online sources of entertainment are planned and released, Sue Matsuki at Cabaret Hotspot has been working with Broadway World Cabaret to compile scheduling information for the upcoming days. Like Nancy Drew and a Hardy Boy, Sue and I share lists, links and emails, hoping to bring readers the most comprehensive intel. It is with no small amount of gratitude to Sue that I can bring you this schedule of up and coming events for your watching enjoyment. Thanks Sue!

On Monday, March 30th, the 2020 MAC Awards were broadcast via Facebook Live from the living rooms or Lennie Watts and Amy Wolk/Lorinda Lisitza in a split-screen presentation in which The Three Stooges of Cabaret made their community of artists laugh with many hi-jinks, giggles, grins, silliness, and an ongoing series of the new MAC Award theme song, penned by Wolk and Lisitza themselves. The intent was to bring some levity to a difficult time in the world and, judging by the comment scroll during the home-made telecast, the hardworking trio tickled the funnybones of many. As names were announced, recipients called in to say a few words (apropos to the proceedings, Mr. Watts' telephone ringtone is the Benny Hill theme song) and particularly moving speeches from the proceedings came from Lisa Viggiano, Meg Flather, and Jeff Harnar. The entire show can be seen on Broadway World HERE. Results of the voting can be seen below.
