JUDY SIMMONS AT THE SMITHSONIAN
A MUSICAL "SHOW" DOWN II: BERLIN VS. PORTER
Wednesday, February 21, 7 P.M.
 
Join Dwight Blocker Bowers, cultural historian at the National Museum of 
American History, and singer/actress Judy Simmons for another round of the 
popular musical "show" down as two composers of "the Great American 
Songbook," Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, go tune to tune. It will be 
"stars and swipes" as Berlin's distinctly American style challenges Porter's 
worldly sophistication. Each often serving as both composer and lyricist, 
Berlin and Porter remain legends of the American stage. Through live 
performance (with voluntary audience participation), slides, and stories 
highlighting the best and worst of Berlin and Porter, we'll have fun trying 
to crown a champion. Alex Tang again provides wonderful accompaniment for 
this unique evening.
 
Simmons, Executive Director of the DC Cabaret Network, has appeared 
frequently at Signature Theatre and other DC Theatres. She was also part of 
the American Popular Song series at the Smithsonian.

MARCH OPEN MIC: 365 DAYS/365 PLAYS
A UNIQUE CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY AT THE WAREHOUSE THEATRE & CAFE
The DC Cabaret Network has the exceptional opportunity to participate in the 
ground breaking theatre event of works by Suzan-Lori Parks who wrote 
TopDog/UnderDog. Performance groups nationwide were selected to present a 
week of plays (the same week of plays will be performed by different groups 
all across the country) creating the largest collaboration in the history of 
American theater.

will perform all of these short plays on March 5 for our March Open Mic.
 
We would like to invite YOU to participate! If you would like to perform 
in the Acting Company, you must be available for a rehearsal on March 4. 
Please submit a request with your full name, email address, and phone number 
to: info@dccabaretnetwork.org. Information regarding the time and location 
of the rehearsal will be emailed to you.
 
On the night of the Open Mic, everyone is invited to bring songs that relate 
to the plays which might be sung before, after, and between the plays with 
the aim for the songs to support, comment, introduce, or follow up the 
plays. It is important that your choices be influenced by the plays and 
really connect to them.
 
It promises to be a very special and unique evening for all of us!

CLASSES AND INSTRUCTION
 
THE TUSCANY PROJECT: VOICE & SONG
15th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL INTENSIVE VOICE WORKSHOP IN ITALY
JUNE 25 - JULY 6, 2007
www.TuscanyProject.com
 
The Tuscany Project is an extraordinary, intensive workshop held each summer 
in Italy at the villa Locanda del Gallo, near Perugia.
 
The project blends group and individual work focusing on each person's 
growing edge in the areas of vocal exploration, movement, song 
interpretation and performance, performing presence, and work on group and 
individual songs (cabaret, musical theater, jazz and gospel).
 
The program is held in a beautiful 12th century restored villa, with a grand 
swimming pool in the lush countryside of central Italy . Participants have 
come from Australia, New Zealand, many parts of Europe, England, Bermuda, 
Canada, and the USA. Many singers from the USA cabaret community have 
participated.
 
This will be the 15th year that international participants gather to explore 
their singing in more depth. The project views singing not simply as the art 
of making beautiful sounds on key, but as a disciplined expression of our 
deepest life forces and the discovery of our own personal power through the 
artistry of the human voice. Adult singers of all levels are welcome.

AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENTS
FIFTH ANNUAL CABARET CONFERENCE AT YALE UNIVERSITY
JULY 27 – AUGUST 5, 2007
(Press Release)
 
Erv Raible, Executive Director/Artistic Director, takes great pride in 
announcing the Fourth Annual Cabaret Conference at Yale University. The 
Cabaret Conference at Yale University is being developed in conjunction with 
the Yale School of Drama/Yale Repertory Theater. Several conference 
sessions will be held in the facilities of the Yale School of Drama/Yale 
Repertory Theater, including the recently opened New Theater.
The Fifth Annual Cabaret Conference At Yale University will be held July 27 
- August 5, 2006, and is an internationally focused, nine-day teaching 
program that offers an intensive look at the art of cabaret performance 
technique, and trains professionals for the live entertainment industry. The 
Great American Songbook will be addressed and promoted in its entirety, from 
its origins in the late 19th century through the classic pop standards of 
the 1930s and 40s to today’s contemporary cabaret, musical theater, jazz, 
and pop music.
 
Our students have come from across the United States, Australia, Canada, 
Germany, Greece, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
 
The award-winning faculty, and renowned special guests, will guide 
thirty-six students in a collaborative process of critical refining and 
honing. The conference will feature classes and lectures covering cabaret 
performance technique, acting for singers, lyric interpretation, focus and 
concentration, act
structure, act writing, material research, and comedic development, to 
musical director and director relations, arranging, orchestration, 
composer/lyricist relations, and image consultation. Examine the final 
stages of act presentation through club relations, marketing, press and 
public relations, to the technical language of light and sound, 
representation, booking, management and personal networking; with an 
emphasis on integration into the international live entertainment community.
 
Public performances will allow the students to observe first-hand the 
performance techniques of professionals in the industry, while continuing to 
study those of their peers on a daily performance basis. At the Cabaret 
Conference Curtain Call the students will perform, demonstrating what they 
have accomplished in their nine days at the Cabaret Conference at Yale 
University.
