Patrons of the arts will love this one.
It's a chance to revel in musical theatre performances, while supporting a local theatre troupe, and enjoying a sweet treat.
Secondary Characters presents its 2nd Annual ‘Confectioner’s Cabaret’ on Saturday, May 14, with an evening of decadent desserts, live music, and a silent auction.
Music numbers will ran the gamut from Les Miserables to Hairspray or even Disney's Tangled, and will feature local performers like home-grown soprano Caroline Davies, who made it to the Provincial Music finals.
Also on the program is local vocal octet Pieces of Eight, showcasing many of the Charlie Brown cast members. Joining Secondary Characters for the evening is Vancouver singer Tamara Vishniakoff, a graduate of the Capilano University Musical Theatre program, who played Mary Magdalene in TUTS production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
