 This year's JEFF MATSON AWARD was presented to Eric Michael Gillett as part of the event. The JEFF MATSON AWARD, presented annually by CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE 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. In addition, CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE presented a new annual award at this year's 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY - the first SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION TO CABARET award, and the recipient was Katherine (Kitty) Skrobela, founder and CEO of MIRANDA MUSIC, known and loved by cabaret performers everywhere - but especially in NYC.
