The Cabaret's 2014 Summer/Fall season kicks off July 11th with star of Broadway, Glee and 30 Rock, Cheyenne Jackson in his acclaimed show, Cheyenne Jackson's Cocktail Hour: Music of the Mad Men Era.

'The Cabaret is thrilled to be celebrating its 5th Anniversary,' says Shannon Forsell, The Cabaret's Executive Director. 'This season we are celebrating with a cocktail of cabaret created for even the most discerning of cabaret connoisseurs; a mixture of classic and contemporary, high-brow and low-brow, European and American with a splash of Broadway, popular music and Jazz.'

As a fundraiser for The Cabaret, Shannon Forsell, veteran cabaret performer and The Cabaret's Executive Director, will perform a special show created exclusively for the evening's audience. Prior to the show, audience members will have the chance to bid for the songs they would like to hear Shannon sing. Songs with the highest bids will be used to create a unique one-night-only show just for you!

The Cabaret at The Columbia Club announces its 2013 Winter/Spring lineup. (Due to an increase in the number of performances now presented annually, The Cabaret will release its artistic line-up bi-annually starting in 2013.)

The Cabaret announces several changes to the fall season lineup. Tony Award winning Broadway and Disney star Susan Egan will replace Laura Benanti for the 2012 fundraiser; Glee & Spring Awakening's Jonathan Groff will replace Gavin Creel; and local performer Brenda Williams will replace Everett Greene in the holiday show "Martinis and Mistletoe."

Whether gracefully lounging across a polished piano, sassing up a self-deprecating joke or sharing a tender thought about husband, David Forsell, the chanteuse lights up the stage and heart.

Managing and artistic director of The Cabaret, Shannon Forsell, graces The Cabaret's stage once again, with "Songs I've Never Sung On Broadway." Through songs from Broadway to cabaret to jazz, this show explores how we choose to live, the choices we make, and how "forks in the road" shape and define who we are.
