Qu’est-ce que c’est cabaret?

November 2, 2016

Qu’est-ce que c’est cabaret? was the topic of a panel discussion featuring top cabaret performers (from l. to r.) Kim David Smith, Laurie Krauz, Klea Blackhurst,, and Jeff Harnar, and moderated by Bistro Award Committee member Gerry Geddes. It was part of the three-day conference for the American Theatre Critics Association that Bistro Awards producer Sherry Eaker organized Oct. 28-30 in New York.

For many of the out-of-town critics in the audience, not only did they find out what the art form is all about, but perhaps just as important, why.

Take a look for yourself.
