Join us at The Joint Comedy Theater this Sunday for an evening of song and celebration with some of your favorite performers from theaters from our local community.

Spotlight Cabaret is a monthly cabaret series spotlighting a variety of singers from our local theatre scene - including professional, semi-professional, community, and school theaters.

The goal of this monthly series is to highlight our wonderful and expansive theatre community by showcasing 5 singers each month who have recently, are currently, or will soon be in a local production. The singers will each perform 2 songs of their choosing, ranging from rock and pop to musical theatre and beyond!
As these performers spend their evening putting a jingle in your heart, please put a little jingle in your pocket before you arrive. Throughout the evening, we will collect tips that will be split between the 5 singers.
