Many Thanks and We Hope to See You Soon!

We could not be more delighted and grateful for the wonderful audience who attended last Saturday’s performance of Twisted Cabaret Does the ’80s, our generous volunteers, Laurana and Travis for the performance space, our many supporters, our fabulous performers and Dayton’s own singular Mahoganay Halsten Soule for being once again, a phenomenal hostess beyond compare! Thank you also to our first time guest performers Kate Hunt-Young and Dave Hurley as well as returning guest performers from SMAG Dance Collective! We would also like to thank all of the local businesses who posted our flyers.

The support of our community and our fellow artists means the world, and we are intensely happy about being able to raise funds for Women and Dance’s upcoming winter concert, Human Elements, courtesy of the presence of each and every person who was in attendance! We look forward to seeing you all again on October 3rd for Twisted Cabaret’s dance theatre presentation, in collaboration with SMAG Dance Collective, of historic New Orleans’ Cities of the Dead which will also raise funds to support Dayton Sickle Cell, so please do bring friends, and ‪#‎dateyourcity‬.

Tickets are available now for Cities of the Dead at Brown Paper Tickets, and we hope to see you at Women and Dance’s next concert, Human Elements, which showcases an amazing program of inspiring choreographers!

Twisted Cabaret Does the ’80s on Saturday, August 8th in Support of Women and Dance

Twisted Cabaret Does the ’80s is a one night event, hosted by the one and only, Mahoganay Halsten Soule, who will transport you to the cabaret shows of the early twentieth century brought forward into the iconic decade of the 1980s! The evening of performance features dance, comedy and theater as well as guest performances from local singers, musicians and dance companies. A night at the Twisted Cabaret is an experience you will never forget!

Characters from the original Twisted Cabaret will return to entertain you along with some new characters for Twisted Cabaret Does the ’80s with never before seen performances full of twisted mischief!

An evening at the Twisted Cabaret begins with Cocktail Time at half past 8 o’clock followed by The Show at 9pm.

Featured performers include:

● Evelyn Tempest, the enchanting murderess, consumed by her obsession for The Doll
● The Doll, tethered, under the spell of her master
● Blue Velvet, the drunken narcissist, with a mirror in one hand and a glass in the other
● The Queen of Pain, beautiful and mesmerizing, casts her spell over all who gaze upon her
● The Demented Diva, dangerously fun and delightfully unexpected

Hors d’oeuvres and drinks will be served all evening long.

An ’80s dance party will follow the show, and the best dressed party guest will win a prize!

Space is limited, so be sure reserve your seat early because Twisted Cabaret events usually sell out!  Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets.

Twisted Cabaret is a fun fundraiser for Women and Dance in Dayton, Ohio and has raised funds for amazing charitable organizations like Half the Sky and AIDS Resource Center Ohio.
