ERIC MICHAEL GILLETTE TO RECEIVE JEFF MATSON AWARD! CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE BIRTHDAY PARTY UPDATE

Ticket sales close soon for the 21st Birthday Party of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE on Wednesday, July 6th at 7:00 pm at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC ). Tickets must be ordered & paid for online via PayPal. Cost is $21 for 2011-12 members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE  and $31 for non-members.

This year's JEFF MATSON AWARD will be 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 will be presenting a new annual award at this year's 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY - the first SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION TO CABARET award, the recipient to be announced at the party (see item in TOP STORIES section above.) We have one - and maybe two surprise performers that won't be revealed until the night of the show as well.

Other performers for the show in addition to Mr. Gillett, are DC Anderson, 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. As with all live entertainment events, performers are subject to change without notice.
