UND "Broadway Bound" participants to present cabaret


Twelve UND students and faculty members will present the Fire Hall Theatre's January Friday Night Cabaret Friday, Jan. 18, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Cabaret is held at the Fire Hall Theatre, 412 Second Ave. N.

Members of the UND "North Dakota - New York Showcase" will present Broadway songs and scenes in a relaxed, informal Cabaret environment.

In early March, the Showcase will perform in Minneapolis and then in New York City, placing the best and brightest of North Dakota talent in front of Broadway casting agents. UND alumni events are being planned in association with this performance (and to help celebrate the University's 125th Birthday) in both Minneapolis and New York.

Performers include Debra Berger, Chris Harder, Misti Koop, Jesi Mullins, Jared Fladeland, Daniel Dutot, Anne Christopherson, Sam Ivory, Margaret McDonald, Ellery Tofte, Joe Bussey and Louise Pinkerton. The showcase is directed by Gaye Burgess and Job Christenson.

Admission is $15 at the door, and a free will donation to help the Showcase travel to New York will be accepted.

As always, wine (21+) and light hors d'œuvres will be served.

Proceeds benefit the Greater Grand Forks Community Theatre and the North Dakota - New York Showcase. Don't miss this opportunity to experience North Dakota's talent.
