Dear Cabaret Family &
Friends,
We hope your summer’s been great, and as Labor Day fast approaches, that you, like us, are looking forward to an exciting fall season full of live entertainment. Cabaret Exchange is now in its fourth month, and we are working on many projects to fulfill our mission statement to “Raise the Bar on All Things Cabaret.” Here are some suggestions to improve your experience with Cabaret Exchange, as well as some new features we would like to bring to your attention.
Cabaret Exchange recently activated our poll feature. When
New York Times critic Stephen Holden
was on vacation, it was pointed out by a fellow press person, that this left no
coverage of cabaret at the Times.
Raising this obvious point, led us to this question: “If the New York Times were to expand its coverage
of cabaret, who would the community like to see reviewing?” The poll feature
can be found on the left bar on our front page. You do not need to register in
order to vote, and only one vote from each individual logging on from their
computer will be accepted. Once you’ve cast your preference, you cannot vote
again. We have not set a cut-off date for the voting, and up-to-the-minute
percentages are viewable by clicking the results button. When the poll is
finished, we will send the percentile results to the New York Times, along with the total number of votes cast, so
please vote and tell other cabaret family, friends and supporters to vote The
more votes cast, the louder our voice to
the New York Times.
Due to
schedule conflicts, our original date of Friday, August 24, for the Cabaret Exchange
piano bar invasion of Rita Mae’s, has been moved to Tuesday, August 28. Please
join us at 9pm at
As the Exchange
grows, so must our team. We welcome Patrick Shank to the team as our new Advertising
Manager. Patrick will also be heading up several other exciting new projects
which will be announced in the near future. If you like the job we’re doing and
the service we provide, we hope you will consider supporting Cabaret Exchange
when planning your advertising budgets. We also welcome donations, and again,
thank our current Supporters. Feel free to contact Patrick with any questions you may have. He has a wealth of knowledge and loves
to share.
Lastly, we
have a project in the works to help increase our coverage and reviews of
cabaret, comedy and jazz which will be announced shortly. Stay tuned. You ain’t
seen nothing yet!
Sincerely,
Scott Barbarino

Editor-in-Chief
