OVER 65? I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
Over 65? I am looking for some kind of count to see how many "seniors" are readers/members. No need to tell me your exact age - just send me an e-mail at stuhamstra@svhamstra.com with the subject line SENIOR 65+. If we get enough responses we might just set up a special cabaret program with special offers just for seniors.

MEMBER DISCOUNT: $7 OFF THE COVER

Musical director Earl Wentz, crafted this fast-paced, funny, and sentimental hour-long revue of music by these composers, who, despite their contributions of dozens of popular and jazz standards, have been too-often overlooked in the Great American Songbook. The show's title is taken from Shelton Brooks's 1917 hit that begins with the famous lyric, "I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey," and that has been recorded by artists as diverse as Alberta Hunter, Fats Domino, Pete Fountain, Chet Atkins, and The Beach Boys. Over 25 songs, including classics "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Them There Eyes," "Basin Street Blues," and "Some of These Days" will be performed by Sheryl Fields, Nicole Pacent, Ravin Patterson, and William Watkins. Both Pacent and Patterson make their cabaret debuts with this production, while Fields and Watkins are cabaret- and American Composer Series- veterans. Series creator Earl Wentz will accompany on the piano at each performance. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. $8 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
