A Note from the Artistic Director

Greetings, Everyone!
Thanks for joining us for this Valentine’s Day Cabaret, Kindred Spirits. Some of you
might remember that a Valentine’s Day cabaret used to be a regular thing for us
back at the Baird Center. As our schedule changed, we moved our cabaret to the
fall, but this time of year seems particularly right for some music.
We hope you’ll enjoy the variety of stories told here. Each singer recorded their
songs individually; Jeff took the tracks and polished them up, and then the singers
and their friends and families took their own videos based on a creative discussion
with me and Daria. Finally, I edited all the pieces together, incorporating Daria’s
feedback.
Next up is the company’s original web series, Together Apart, written by Dave
Maulbeck and David Lee White. We love trying new things, as you can tell, so look
out for this project by the middle of March. Please keep in touch about what you’re
seeing from us - we will be planning for the coming season over the next months,
one which we hope will be together, not apart.
Health and happiness,
