Academy Students Shine in Cabaret Studio: A Showcase Performance
The fun continues with a performance by our Academy students who've been working hard with Teaching Artist Jill Dautenburg in preparation for this exciting performance of
Cabaret Studio: A Showcase Performance. The show will feature cabaret-style performances using song and storytelling while engaging with their fellow musicians and audience members. The CFCArts Academy offers performing arts classes at an affordable cost to artists of all ages and experience levels. Don't miss the show at the Renaissance Theatre on
November 16 at 7 p.m.
Dautenburg reflects, "The Fall 2023 Cabaret has been a rewarding experience from the very beginning. This is the largest group we have had so far. Each Cabaret group has its own personality as a team of individuals from different musical places, experiences, and goals come together on Wednesday evenings to sing".
Narrators Bring Artistic Comedy to Life with You'll Never Guess What Happened at the Museum
CFCArts has one more in the lineup that’s sure to tickle your funny bone. The Narrators are excited to collaborate with the Arts & History Museums - Maitland for an original project entitled
You'll Never Guess What Happened at the Museum.
Narrators are an enthusiastic group of older adults (55+) who have a desire and a mission to give back to the community by performing and having a lot of fun doing it. Their upcoming theatrical performance will feature original monologues and vignettes inspired by the artwork of André Smith and a few comedic museum-themed scenes.
"What a joy it has been collaborating with Art & History Museums - Maitland, who have been supporting us since we were first inspired to do an art-themed show," said show director Christine Hicks. "The works of museum founder J. André Smith have been a true inspiration, and it has been a gift to be able to honor them through our performance."
Hicks quotes the playwright Luigi Jannuzzi and explains that "one of the objects of the show is to raise awareness of art through the use of comedy." The show will be performed on
November 19 at 3 and 6 p.m. Admission to the museums is included with Narrators tickets.
