NYC CABARET

Perks

Next Stop: The Big Apple

June and July 2025, our next casts will take to the cabaret stage in New York City for an immersive experience in the heart of Broadway.

 

Participants will work with a professional theatrical staff as well as a cast of talented artists from across the country to rehearse and perform the show at a premier cabaret venue in the heart of New York City.

 

When not lighting up the stage themselves, the cast will experience the bright lights and big city that only the Big Apple has to offer!
