Marshall Theatre To Host Fundraiser March 11

Here's an event coming up that was dreamed up by students, put together by students, and starring (who else?) students at Marshall. They're a talented group, and this should be a lot of fun!

Here's the press release:
A special fundraiser for students in Marshall University’s Department of Theatre will take the stage March 11, 2010 at 8 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.

Cabaret 2010 will be staged to raise funds to send Marshall theatre students to auditions and special events, including the Southeastern Theatre Conference.

More than a dozen students will present an evening of Broadway songs. acting, and dancing. The event is free to the public, but donations are welcome (and encouraged).

Bruce Rous, adjunct professor, is assisting the students and Tawny Burdine will be playing keyboard.

For those who cannot attend the event, checks can be made payable to the MU Theatre Guild (memo- CABARET) can be sent to: MU Dept of Theatre, 1 John Marshall Drive, Huntington, W.Va. 25755.
A great event and a great cause - don't miss it!

Hey, Chuck-

When something like this is announced, I'm always surprised when the performers aren't listed. I'm sure this will be great, and I'm interested in going, but I'd like to know who will be onstage. This happened with ARTS Valentine's Cabaret last year...With a couple of exceptions, I had no idea who was involved until I showed up to see the show. Sometimes I have found out about casts in a newspaper article the day before the show opens. I think it may help to attract a larger audience and sell tickets earlier if people know in advance who they are going to see. Your blog does a good job of posting cast lists...Do some groups just not release that info?

Ryan, that's an excellent point - and actually, I do have a list of the cast (or at least most of the cast). I'll track it down and post it out on the main page.

Now, where are your Oscar picks? ;-)
