For the month of November we have been looking at special artists in cabaret. Here they all are, in one place.

As we wrap our 30 Days Of Cabaret Gratitude, I'd like to take one brief paragraph to acknowledge the people who made it possible. I am most grateful to the artists who said yes to the invitation to be in the series - some folks said no, either verbally or with silence, so the people who came on board really do have my deepest thanks. Rob Diamond and Nicole Rosky didn't just say ok when they heard about the project, they said, "Who do you need us to get for you?" and that speaks volumes about commitment and support. Richard Jay-Alexander had some great ideas that he passed on through Rob, and they were appreciated, sincerely. I had no budget for stylists, so some folks provided their own, and there were also some volunteer stylists/makeup artists: Evy Drew, Steven Brian Harris, Jennifer Houston, Nathan Johnson, and Noel Martinez - these artists were a blessing and no mistake. Robbie Rozelle volunteered his help with photo retouching, since my skillset in that area is limited, and Jennifer Houston provided incredible gourmet baked goods for the craft service table at the Chita Rivera shoot (as well as a little photo retouching, too). Rosie Bentinck set up the Chita Rivera shoot, while Cathy Brighenti arranged the Betty Buckley shoot, both to my deepest gratitude. And I thank my husband, Pat Dwyer, for putting up with the unending parade of photo shoots through our home, and for helping me schlepp all the equipment for the two shoots that took place on location. Working on this project has been one of the joys of my career, and I feel very grateful for the opportunity and assistance. Thank you to all the artists who, by being a part of it, made me feel, for a few minutes, like an artist myself. I feel very humble. --S. Mosher
