By: Charlie Piane Apr. 27, 2010
Carly Ozard, voted "Best Cabaret Performer 2009", presents six diverse showcases and will co-host four evenings of open mics featuring talented performers from professional Bay Area musical theatres and groups including 42nd Street Moon, Lamplighters, The SF Gay Men's Chorus and vocal artists from the local cabaret and performance oeuvre. This is part of the SOMETHING C.O.O.L. - THE SUMMER CABARET FESTIVAL, which runs MAY 27 - JUNE 27, 2010. All shows are at the Eureka Theatre - 215 Jackson St. in SF 94102. All tickets for Carly Presents will be sold at the door or on Brown Paper Tix. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/
Carly's desire is to showcase up-and-coming cabaret singers, alongside well seasoned entertainers, and people who just want to hone their craft with performing experience. This is the place to try out that new song, invite some friends and family to watch you perform, and work with professional musicians. There are eight different genres and there will be six - ten vocalists each night. Ozard will present vocal evenings Mondays thru Wednesdays for the month of June. Monday and Tuesday nights begin at 7:30pm and the cover charge is $10.00. Wednesday open mics begin at 8:00 pm and are free, with tipping graciously accepted. This is an inexpensive way to spend a night out, and support local artists who need to be seen and heard and who love to perform. Carly was a frequent host of Open-mic at the Octavia Lounge and is a cabaret performer who hails from a musical theatre background.
