After selling out performances in the fall of 2020, Davenport's invited Jackie Smook to return each month in The Cabaret. Jackie Smook and her brilliant pianist Joey Chimes, go on a magical, puppet-filled, comedic (yet moving) ride into the Jackie Smook self help cabaret. It's a roller coaster through Jackie's journey from a dingy dongy dumb dumb to the hard working, go getting, ambitious woman she is today. Told through four stages and 12 musical acts, you will be moved by this true story of growth and self-love.

"I am excited to not only return to Davenport's but also to be able to share my story, musically," said Smook. "This opportunity to have a monthly performance will let Joey, the puppets and me work on new pieces and new themes with new audiences. We appreciate all of this and look forward to the new year, this monthly engagement and being on the Davenport's stage again, live."

Please note: All patrons must be vaccinated. For entry, patrons must provide proof of vaccination, such as a Vaccination Card, and a valid photo ID. Masks will be required upon entry and when not seated.
