Cabaret at the Columbia Club
No matter what you are doing Saturday evening, consider capping the night at the Columbia Club, where
the very talented Brent Marty will be hosting the first of what is hoped to be many installments of “That’s Brentertainment!.”
More than an open mic night, “That’s Brentertainment!” invites talented folks who may
be performing in other shows around the city to bring their songs to showcase. The evening starts at 10:30 (after the Cabaret’s
performance by Shannon Forsell and Brenda Williams) and goes until the music runs out. For the first installment, Su Ours
(a familiar face from such Phoenix Theatre shows as “Company”) helps get things started. I’ll be there,
too, offering some Broadway trivia. The show is free (with a two-drink minimum). Details here.
