FULL HOUSE, A SERIES OF CABARETS
June 25th-28th
Different cabaret in every time slot!
Here's the lineup:
Thursday, June 25, 7:30 pm -
We know how to start a series with a bang! We're proud to present Karen Gross in her hilarious one-woman show Sex and the Single Singer, followed by a gala reception.
Performed and created by Philadelphia cabaret artist Karen Gross, Sex & the Single Singer is a sassy, sexy musical journey about the search for love.
Expect lots of great songs, big laughs and a fabulously fun night out from the artist who has sold out venues throughout the region. Said Bob Egan, founder/producer of the legendary cabaret at Odette’s, “With Julia Roberts’ looks, and a voice to match, Karen Gross is one of the most refreshing performers I had the pleasure of watching grow and become more and more dynamic over the years.”
Reception catered by some of Philadelphia’s best, including Whole Foods, Amada, Tria, Valanni, and Xochitl.

Nathan Ohm in Travels and Home: Songs for the Journey.
In his inspirational and humorous style, Nathan shares songs from Broadway and jazz that highlight life's journeys. Join Nathan, who comes in from NYC, in his first Philadelphia homecoming performance!
Friday, June 26, 9:30 pm -
We convinced the amazing Maggie Laird to come in from the Seattle area for "From Berlin to Broadway, and a Few Random Stops." Accompanying herself on the piano, Vashon Island's “quintessential jazz diva” (Island View) sings favorite standards, award-winning originals, and a diverse mix of covers designed to take you to a Parisian bistro, the streets of Amsterdam, or your local smoky bar. Says the Vashon Loop, "One can actually feel the smokiness in the room, catch a whiff of the drinks at the bar, and feel the torch that Laird carries."
Not enough for you? Maggie is followed by G DeCandia in Stage to Screen...and Back Again. If big-budget blockbuster movie-musicals incited your interest in the genre, come rock out to the tunes all over again in a unique celebration of bringing stage to screen...back to stage! Join BCKSEET Productions' Greg DeCandia, touted by the Philadelphia Inquirer as a performer with “courage, energy, and enormous physical grace,” and guitarist Joe Horak ("ferociously talented and wickedly brilliant") for an evening that will prove that stage is bigger than screen!
Saturday, June 27, 7:30 pm -
Melissa Kolczynski presents Pants on Fire, songs about "liars, lust, and flaming pants." Melissa and friends sing songs from the 1920's to today, about betrayal, deception, passion and fire. "She's tone perfect," says the Inquirer, which also comments "<Melissa> sings with feeling, spirit, style, and humor."
Saturday, June 27 9:30 pm -
The Best is Yet to Come, featuring members of the Cabaret Performance Class. Born out of Jeff Lesser and Jeff McDonnell’s Cabaret Performance Class, these rising performers on the Philadelphia cabaret scene--Vivian Fineman, Liza Herschel, Steve Kolbo, Lee McCosker, and Butch Rubincan (with Lesser and McDonnell)-- will thoroughly entertain you with a variety of material evoking laughter and tears.
Sunday, June 28 - 6 pm -
A finale doesn't get much grander than this pair of talents - starting with Peter Andrew Danzig (who got such rave reviews in Quince's recent production of Show/Tell) in Welcome to the Red Room, a collection of pop/folk music that touches the heart, reminds us of young love, and encourages us to accept one another. He's followed by Aimée Robidoux in Vision of Love. Accompanied by Ryan Fleming, Aimée uses popular songs and standards to share an entertaining tale of one girls experience with love from beginning to end. Do not miss these two!
