The Duplex Cabaret Theatre (61 Christopher St.) has announced Trio, a new cabaret series, which will run August 13 - 28 at the famed West Village theatre; the series is built around the simple concept of three performers appearing nightly, performing mostly new material.
More specifically, the idea behind Trio is to "combine the efforts of three performers, giving audiences an exposure to three different styles during the course of one evening," states a press article. "This style is similar to the way in which The Duplex was booked in the 60's, with three different performers appearing nightly, each presenting their own 'sets.' Each performance of Trio will run between 60 and 90 minutes, and will be hosted by an esteemed member of the cabaret community."On Saturday, August 13th, Stu Hamstra of Cabaret Hotline Onlinewill host an evening that features Sarajean Devenport, Brandon Cutrell and Lisa Asher. On Sunday, August 14, Adam Feldman of TimeOut New York will be the host for Kate Pazakis, David Gurland and Mary Liz MacNamara. On Saturday, August 20th, Roy Sander (formerly of Backstage & Citysearch) will emcee for Margaret Curry, Scott Coulter and Carolyn Montgomery.
On Sunday, August 21st, Barry Levitt, (President of MAC--Manhattan Association of Clubs & Cabarets) will host Nick Cearley, Audrey LaVine and Suzanne Fiore. On Saturday, August 27th Barbara and Scott Siegel (ofTheaterMania, and producers of Broadway by the Year and The Nightlife Awards) will serve as hosts for Tim DiPasqua, Bobby Belfry and Phillip Officer and on Sunday, August 28th, Phil Geoffrey Bond (Director of Programming, The Duplex Cabaret Theatre) will be the emcee for John Bucchino, Julie Garnye and Ritt Henn.There is a $15 cover ($12 for members of MAC and Cabaret Hotline Online), as well as a two drink minimum.
