Weston Playhouse presents ‘A Weston Winter Cabaret’

WESTON PLAYHOUSE
WESTON, Vt. — The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company announces “A Weston Winter Cabaret,” back for its third year at Walker Farm. Join Weston Young Company alumni on Dec. 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. for two fabulous evenings filled with the songs of the season. This fun, festive show directed by special guest Cabaret Maestro Tim Fort is sure to get you into the holiday spirit! This event is a benefit for the Weston Young Company Program.

The Weston Playhouse Young Company is composed of non-equity actor/singer/dancers who are currently attending or no more than one year beyond graduation from a conservatory or undergraduate training program. Weston’s summer program provides performance training, professional experience, and access to the expertise of Weston’s theatre professionals through a series of workshops, discussions and interactive exercises.

“A Weston Holiday Cabaret” features six former “YoCo” members and one “local YoCo” as well as music direction by 2016-18 Cabaret Music Director Jake Turski. Jake is also on faculty at CAP21 Conservatory/Molloy College in New York City and is the co-founder and producer for Accidental Productions, an New York City-based cabaret group in residence at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in Times Square. The cast includes Gideon Chickos, whose first Weston appearances were in the 2017 YoCo production “Really Rosie” (Pierre) and “The Music Man” (in the barbershop quartet). He returned to the Playhouse as one of the Jets in last year’s “West Side Story.”

The Weston Holiday Cabaret will be held at Walker Farm on Dec. 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. Reserve your tickets to the performance by visiting westonplayhouse.org/specialevents.

The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company is a non-profit organization supported in part by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and an ever-growing family of individuals and organizations who believe in the impact that the performing arts makes on its community.
