ERIC MICHAEL GILLETT TO RECEIVE 2011 JEFF MATSON AWARD
---------------

CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE is happy to announce that this year's JEFF MATSON AWARD will be presented to Eric Michael Gillett! The JEFF MATSON AWARD, presented annually by CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE at our birthday shows, was created to honor the memory of songwriter/ writer/ director/ producer/ graphic designer Jeff Matson, who passed away suddenly on April 2, 2005 from a rare blood disorder. He shared his talents with all who asked, and mentored many performers who have come to be major forces in the cabaret community including Annie Hughes, Richard Skipper, Quinn Lemley, Miles Phillips, Sue Matsuki (just to name a few). He also wrote - very briefly - as a reviewer for CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

We're also happy to note that the very first recipient of the JEFF MATSON AWARD - DC Anderson - is also one of the performers in this year's show.

Tickets are now on sale for the 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE on July 6th at 7:00 pm at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN. Other performers for the show in addition to Mr. Gillett and Mr. Anderson, are Raissa Katona Bennett, Baby Jane Dexter, Sammy Goldstein, Peggy Herman, Tanya Holt, Sue Matsuki, Karen Oberlin, Craig Pomranz and Marta Sanders. Tracy Stark will serve as musical director. We have one - and maybe two surprise performers that won't be revealed until the night of the show. As with all live entertainment events, performers are subject to change without notice.
