Ambassador Productions Presents 'Provincetown CabaretFest 2019'

Ambassador Productions is proud to present Provincetown CabaretFest 2019, May 29 - June 2, 2019. The annual event, which promises to be the biggest festival to date, boasts over 40 cabaret performers, musicians and master class coaches descending on the beachside resort town to present the four-day festival. Celebrating its 19th year, CabaretFest has grown to become the largest gathering of cabaret performers in New England.

The 1960's saw the country enjoying Broadway hits, Mame, Cabaret and Camelot, alongside the Top 40 music of the Beatles, Carole King, Bob Dylan and Michel Legrand. "It was a crazy time for music. Ground breaking sounds, the British Invasion and melodies that have infiltrated our culture, all came out of that wild decade," said producer James Locke.

CabaretFest features include an Open Mic evening, exclusive private musical parties, eight star-studded solo Cabaret shows, a Variety Show (featuring all the performers in one showcase), a Q&A Panel Luncheon, Press Luncheon, Workshops, Celebrity Master Classes and a lavish Sunday Brunch Show, featuring the Brian Patton Trio and Special Guest star, Jeffrey Wright.
