BOSTON: BACA MARCH IS CABARET MONTH 2009 FESTIVAL
The BACA (Boston Association of Cabaret Artists) "March Is Cabaret Month 2009 Festival" will take place from Thursday through Sunday, March 19th through 22nd at THE BLACKSMITH HOUSE (56 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-547-6789 - Ext. 1 ). The Festival gives Boston audiences the unique opportunity of experiencing all things cabaret in one venue over the span of a few days. The MICM 2009 Festival is designed to give BACA members as many opportunities as is possible over an extended weekend to perform for the cabaret community in a supportive atmosphere. Members will also have the chance to take part in workshops and a master class intended to deepen their performance skills and knowledge about other matters related to putting on a show.
In addition, the Festival serves as BACA's major fundraising event. A portion of ticket sales will go to support further initiatives, such as a Songwriter's Showcase with its own master class this year, the BACA newsletter, website development and a forthcoming scholarship program to help performers mount shows at our events (pending approval of non-profit status), among other projects.
The Boston Association of Cabaret Artists is a non-profit membership-organization that supports, promotes and expands awareness of cabaret as a live entertainment art form. Activities of the group include increasing performance opportunities for cabaret entertainers through BACA events and venue development, publicizing the work of local cabaret songwriters, raising public attention about cabaret's presence in Boston and New England, presenting workshops and master classes, providing information about member shows and recordings and advocating for cabaret in arts-related forums.
