DC CABARET NETWORK MARCH OPEN MIC: 365 DAYS/365 PLAYS BY SUZAN-LORI PARKS
A UNIQUE CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY AT THE WAREHOUSE THEATRE & CAFÉ ON MARCH 5,
2007
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.
The DC Cabaret Network has plays for Week 17 to perform in the DC area.
We will perform all of these short plays on March 5, 2007 for our March Open
Mic.
Here’s the concept: The Acting Company will perform the plays and some of
the performers will also sing songs related to the plays. In addition, on
the night of the Open Mic, everyone is invited to bring songs that relate to
the plays. These songs might be sung before, after, or 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.
Many thanks to everyone who responded to perform in the Acting Company! The
response has been fantastic. We have all the performers we can accept for
the Acting Company at this time.
If you are in the Acting Company, information on the rehearsal location will
be emailed to you.
If you plan to participate in the Open Mic on March 5, please come prepared
with a song that you feel relates directly to one of the plays. To read the
plays visit: www.DCCabaretNetwork.org/March5-1.pdf
Because of the terrific response, we can accommodate just one song per
person.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SIGN-UP:
Due to the nature of this project, sign-up for this Open Mic is very
important. If you would like to sing, you must arrive at the Warehouse
between 7pm and 7:15pm for sign-up. We cannot accept any songs for sign-up
after 7:30. The performance will begin at 8pm.
If you are singing, bring your music ready to sing: legible, in the correct
key, and any arrangement changes clearly and neatly marked. No
transpositions will be available.
This promises to be a very special and unique evening for all of us!
This Open Mic will take place, as usual, at Warehouse Theatre and Cafe.
Admission is $10 suggested donation for pianist. The Warehouse Theatre is
located at 1021 7th Street, NW, across from the new Convention Center.
Everyone is welcome.

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.
For detailed information about the project see the Tuscany Project web site:

basis. We do the best we can with the resources and information we have. It
is our policy to include, to the best of our ability, all cabaret related
notices of our paid up members. Submission, however, does not guarantee
inclusion in the newsletter. Although we always do the best we can to
include the cabaret related notices of paid up members, realities such as
mis-delivered email or the timing of submissions may affect what gets
published in a particular edition.
Your music related submissions must be made to:
dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com.
We reserve the right to edit, and determine the inclusion of, all
submissions.
It is the responsibility of the person submitting the information to proof
read the submission for spelling and correct logistical information.
We will continue to list, free of charge, upcoming events by out-of-town
performers.
The newsletter update goes out on every other Wednesday. Please send your
submissions (to dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com) no later than the Sunday
before those Wednesdays (preferably sooner).
Inclusion in the newsletter does not signify a recommendation or endorsement
by the Network.
We do not post events previous to the date of the newsletter.
We do not post notices for events we know to be sold out.
If you have any questions about our listing policy, please contact us at
dccabaretnetowork@hotmail.com or through our website
www.dccabaretnetowork.org.
POLICY REGARDING EDITS TO SUBMISSIONS PUBLISHED IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS OF
NEWSLETTER
We gladly publish notices of paid up members in multiple editions of the
newsletter. If you have a notice published in the newsletter, and the date
of the event will carry the notice into subsequent editions of the
newsletter, check your information frequently and verify it is correct.
We understand that sometimes plans and arrangements change. If you have a
notice currently published in the newsletter, but need to update or change
the information, re-submit your notice IN FULL (exactly as you’d like it to
appear in the newsletter), including the changes, to
dccabaretnetwork@hotmail.com. In a separate paragraph, specifically point
out the changes that you made. We will cut/paste your updated notice into
the newsletter, calling attention to the changes made.
If you have a notice published in the newsletter, and the date of the event
will carry the notice into subsequent editions of the newsletter, and we do
not receive a new/complete submission (as stated above) with changes
specifically pointed out, your notice will appear exactly as before.
