MARCH IS CABARET MONTH PLANS BEGIN TAKING FORM


MARCH IS CABARET MONTH PLANS BEGIN TAKING FORM

Tom Stajmiger is again producing the annual CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MARCH IS CABARET MONTH GALA on Friday, March 4th at 7:00 pm at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC). Don't make your reservations quite yet - we need to set up a special page on the website to take reservations. There is a $30 cover - $25 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. As always, we will announce the opening of ticket sales to MEMBERS OF CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE first, and members will be able to purchase tickets several days in advance of the public.

Now that we have the date at the BEECHMAN locked up, Tom is working on signing up a musical director and performers - 6 performers have been already invited and he's waiting for their responses. So, stay tuned for further reports - we might have more information as early as the Monday newsletter of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

We will shortly be contacting all clubs, cabaret organizations and members of the cabaret press, asking them to help us promote MARCH IS CABARET MONTH around the world - making folks aware of this unique and wonderful live entertainment medium. If you would like to volunteer to help us get the word out (all over the world, wherever March happens), please send me a note - same address: stuhamstra@svhamstra.com !

This week we also reactivated our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH website -http://www.marchiscabaret.com/ . If you have an event during the month of March, and you designate in your press releases and on your promotional material that the show is a MARCH IS CABARET MONTH event, we'll include it in the proper geographical page on this special website, in addition to our regular listings pages on our CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website. Double the publicity and another place for Google and other search engines to find out about your show! And all banners and side-bar ads running on our CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website will also run on this extra website. With entertainment venues still cutting back on live music, and so many national and local publications cutting back on their coverage of cabaret events, we need to promote this art form we all love and cherish. Now more than ever, cabaret needs your support!

If you wish to be a sponsor of our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH PROMOTION, you can actually purchase a ticket for the GALA today! We need some "seed money" to get the promotion started - we need to order fliers and posters, and cover the cost of snail-mail and e-mail press releases. Sponsorship ($100 per unit) will get you one free $25 ticket (premium seating) to the event per unit, and your name and website (if applicable) will be so noted in all promotional materials and newsletter items about the event. (We won't be able to include your name on the post cards, fliers and posters, since these items will probably be printed in the next two weeks or so). You can remain anonymous if you wish. Sponsors also get a free 1/4 page ad in the program booklet for the gala - worth $25. So your "net cost" for sponsorship is actually $50!
