PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Mad Cow Theatre and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Florida have

been working together over the past 6 weeks to help students develop their talents and put together their

own Cabaret. Students had the opportunity to work with artists

performing in the 9th Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival to discover,

experience, and rehearse their own Cabaret Performance.

This project is a collaborative effort between Mad Cow Theatre and the

Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida. It is supported by The City of

Orlando Mayor's Matching Grant program and many generous

individuals.

WHAT IS

CABARET?

Cabaret is a celebration of song and personality;

it can be personal and

delicate, or bombastic and hysterical

a painstaking journey

or the party at the end of the trip… but always it is pure musical entertainment in an intimate setting.
