W24 MainStage Cabaret: Something Happy For Crying Out Loud!

This Winter '24 the Department of Theater will be fully producing a live full-length cabaret designed to feature as many examples of the performing arts as possible. We hope these will include but will not limited to music, dance, acting, magic, puppetry, burlesque, standup comedy, spoken word poetry, instrumental performance, mime, opera, ventriloquism, monologues, and animal acts…and anything else you can imagine.

We are asking for proposals for performance pieces that activate the announced theme: Something Happy for Crying Out Loud!

You do not need to be a performer to make a proposal.  The proposal form is online here!

The production will be directed by Keith Coughlin and will feature at least 2 major musical numbers to begin what we are imagining to be Act 1 and Act 2.
You will have the benefit of being coached, mentored and directed by professionals over a 5 week rehearsal process, and the production will have lighting, sound, and minimal costume support.

First Rehearsal: January 16.
First Tech : February 10
First Dress: February 14
Performances: February 16, 17, 22, 23, 24.
