SPECIAL THANKS
********************************************************
If you are reading our monthly newsletter, you have one person to thank – Emily Leatha Everson  (www.singbookswithemily.wordpress.com).  Emily has graciously coordinated and edited our newsletter for several years (it could be many years at this point!), and she has done a magnificent job of producing this newsletter, keeping all of the listings straight, and helping to keep cabaret alive in D.C.   
After this undetermined amount of time, Emily has decided to take a breather, and hand the reins . . . or pencil . . . to fellow Board member Justin Ritchie.  Welcome Justin.  Special thanks to Emily for her continuing support of the DC Cabaret Network.

DC CABARET NETWORK MEMBERS’ ONLY SHOWCASE LOTTERY:  FEBRUARY 15TH!
LOTTERY ANNOUNCEMENT-
12 performance slots will be filled by the first 12 DC Cabaret Network Members to send an email to info@dccabaretnetwork.org, with preference given to members who have not performed in previous showcases.  Any remaining slots will be filled from email requests in the order they were received.  If you would like to sing with another person, performers may sign up as a duet.  The duo will be given the same amount of performance and rehearsal time as individual performers.

Emails sent before February 15th will not be considered.

Emails sent to any address other than info@dccabaretnetwork.org will not be considered.

The extraordinarily talented Alex Tang will again be the Music Director and accompanist, and Michael Miyazaki will direct.

Performers (including duets) will have a strictly held 6-minute slot with no more than two songs and patter.

Performers (including duets) will get one 20-minute rehearsal with Alex and Michael.  And, there will be a dress rehearsal in the afternoon on the day of the performance which is scheduled for Sunday evening March 25th at the Arts Club of Washington.

This year we may add a group number to the end of the show.  Information will be sent to the performers about rehearsal times when slots are filled.








MAGGIE’S CABARET FEB 10:  LOVE STORIES:  A MUSICAL VALENTINE
Maggie’s Cabaret returns on Friday, February 10 to set the mood for Valentine’s Day.  Singers include Maggie’s artistic director, Cindy Hutchins, and other friends from the DC Cabaret Network (and past Maggie’s performers):  Terri Allen, Chris Cochran, and Justin Ritchie with musical director, George Fulginiti-Shakar, at the piano.  You won’t want to miss this special evening – great entertainment in the intimate space of the St. Margaret’s Parish Hall to benefit the church’s general fund. 

Doors open at 7:15pm for the 8:00pm show – no advance reservations.  A $20 donation is requested, which includes a free beverage and tasty hors d’oeuvres. 
St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church is located at 1830 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, about 3 blocks above Dupont Circle.


EILEEN WARNER, MARIANNE GLASS MILLER AND MARIS WICKER present “THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID”
Not quite girls gone wild, but definitely three women with something to say.  Join these DC-based cabaret artists and their marvelous music director, Ron Chiles, as they celebrate women songwriters, including Carol Hall, Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Amanda McBroom and Marcy Heisler & Zina Goldrich, to name a few.  “That’s What She Said” promises to be a rollicking evening of song as well as a generous dose of insight that comes with, shall we say – experience?! 
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2012, 7:30pm at Germano’s Trattoria, 300 S. High St, Baltimore, MD.  Come early for a lovely dinner!  Reservations recommended.   
410-752-4515;  www.germanostrattoria.com

Music Direction by Mary Sugar, Direction by Lina Koutrakos


SAVE THE DATE – CHRISTY TRAPP MAKES HER NEW YORK CITY DEBUT

***DC CABARET NETWORK NEWS UPDATE!***

The DC Cabaret Network is on the move and looking forward to a dynamic 2012. 
The Board of the DC Cabaret Network recently welcomed Justin Ritchie as a new member.  Because Judy Simmons, our Executive Director, re-located to the Midwest, the Board has re-organized:  Terri Allen is taking on the job of Executive Director; George Fulginiti-Shakar is continuing his position as Chairman of the Board.  Chris Cochran will also continue to serve as Secretary and Emily Leatha Everson is now Treasurer.  Other Board members include Cindy Hutchins and Justin Ritchie. 

2011 – DC Cabaret Network is Incorporated and Receives Tax Exempt Status.     
This year, the Board worked on incorporating the organization and getting our tax-exempt status from the IRS – a major accomplishment. We are now established as a 501 ( c) (4) organization.  This step was important for the organization from a legal point of view. 

2012 DC Cabaret Network Plans Events for New Year   

New Advisory Board
Ron Squeri has agreed to head up a Committee to work with an Advisory Board to the Network. We have agreements from some fantastic members of the performing arts community who are interested in working with us.  We’ll supply details about this new Advisory Board once members have been confirmed.   

Member’s Showcase (March)
The DC Cabaret Network will host our annual Member’s Showcase in March.  Members of the Network (who have paid their dues) will have the opportunity to perform several songs at this event.  Singers are selected by signing up online – in the past, it has been the first 12 emails we received.  We’ll make an announcement in the newsletter and on Songspeak, our blog, at least a month prior to the show about the sign-up details.         

Workshops (Contemporary Songwriter and American Songbook Composer)
We plan to host at least two workshops during the year – one featuring songs from a contemporary songwriter and another featuring music from one of the classic songwriters from the American Songbook (Mercer, Rodgers and Hammerstein, etc.)   

Open Mics 
We’ll continue to hold our Open Mics once a month.  It’s an opportunity to meet other singers, try out new material, and find out about other composers and music.  The Open Mics truly have created a community of cabaret singers.

DC CABARET NETWORK MOURNS THE LOSS OF PETER FOX
The DC Cabaret Network would like to express its condolences to the family and friends of Peter Fox, who passed away on January 2, 2012. Peter was a member of the DC Cabaret Network, and was well-known in the cabaret community. He performed in our Members Only Showcase in March 2010 at the Arts Club of Washington, and performed his solo cabaret show, “Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Taken” at the Signature Theatre in July 2011. In the summer of 2010, Peter attended the International Cabaret Conference at Yale University, a competitively auditioned, week-long intensive workshop in the art of cabaret. He had also studied the art of cabaret with Judy Simmons and George Fulginiti-Shakar at the Theatre Lab of Washington.
For more information about Peter Fox, see this article on the Washington Blade website.
