CABARET 313 IMPACT STATEMENT 2022-2023

Mission

Cabaret 313 is dedicated to bringing the art form of cabaret to Detroit while supporting and enhancing the increasing energy and vibrancy in the city. As part of its mission, Cabaret 313 also fosters the growth of the art form through masterclass educational programming.

The Idea

Cabaret 313 was born of the vision and passion of Sandi Reitelman and Allan Nachman, two Metro Detroiters who developed the plan to bring professional cabaret to the city of Detroit. An intimate genre in which the singer tells a story through song, it evokes both laughter and tears and forges a connection between the artist and the listener. Their thought was that cabaret could build on the energy and vitality that was then being unleashed in this city with the resurgence of this art form in cities around the world, and with Detroit’s cultural renewal, both Allan and Sandi and numerous others believed the time had come to introduce cabaret to Detroit.

Cabaret 313: A Detroit Tradition In the heart of Detroit's vibrant cultural scene, Cabaret 313 has established itself as a true gem. For over a decade, we've proudly brought top-tier talent from the Broadway and New York stages to the heart of our city, gracing stunning venues with the magic of cabaret.

As we embark on our 11th Season, we're thrilled to welcome interim president, Edward Eickhoff, to help foster our thriving community of cabaret enthusiasts. Allan Nachman remains active as our new Artistic Director, passionately guiding our artistic endeavors.

Cabaret 313 isn't just about the stars of today; we're committed to nurturing the stars of tomorrow. Through our masterclass series, we're elevating the next generation of performers.

Our mission has always been to share the intimate and captivating art of cabaret with Detroit, and this season promises to be truly exceptional. Join us for our 11th Season, featuring the incredible talents of Farah Alvin & Ryan Knowles, Melissa Errico, UofM Musical Theatre Class of 2024, Brandon Victor Dixon, and Eva Noblezada & Reeve Carney.

2022-2023 SHOWS & ARTISTS

There are no costumes, no elaborate sets, no distant balcony seats — it's just you listening to another person pour their heart out on stage. But you aren't just there to observe - they see you, hear you, react to you, ensuring no two shows are ever the same. Even in the Instagram Age, Cabaret is one art form that demands to be experienced live.

Masterclass Education

Fostering Tomorrow's Talents As part of its overall mission, Cabaret 313 has established a goal to foster the growth of the cabaret art form through educational programming and masterclasses with the artists it presents.

Since 2014, the institution has collaborated with the following institutions to present influential and life-changing sessions.

Wayne State University Department of Music University of Michigan School of Music Theatre Dance Oakland University School of Music Theatre Dance Detroit’s Mosaic Youth Theatre Cabaret 313’s 2023-24 season features two masterclass instructors: Melissa Errico and Brandon Victor Dixon.

“ I was able to attend Alexandra Silber’s musical masterclass as a participant of Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit. I personally have a passion for musical theater and hope to one day pursue it as a career. Before this class, I saw musical theater as something fun that could ever so often make you feel something but it never truly carried any emotional weight, at least for me. Seeing my peers perform their hearts out while being coached on how to connect with the pieces they choose was an eyeopener, at one point I was almost moved to tears because of how powerful their performances were. Thanks to Miss Silber I now see musical theater as more than just something fun that could at times tug at the heart strings, now I see it for it has the potential to be when I put my all into it.”

- Naomi, 11th Grade Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit

Broadway performers, Eden Espinosa and Michael McElroy teach a masterclass at University of Michigan in 2023.

Elaine Stritch Society

An iconic bridge from Detroit to Broadway and back again.

Born in Detroit, Elaine lived in New York City for 71 years until her return to the city of Birmingham where she passed away in 2014 at the age of 89. She was a “brilliant force of nature” and a “national treasure,” fondly remembered for her dynamic cabaret performances in her black tights, floppy hat, and white shirt, belting Sondheim’s “The Ladies Who Lunch” and other signature songs.

She appeared in numerous stage plays, musicals, feature films, and television series as well as receiving four Tony nominations and several Emmys. Her one-woman show, Elaine Stritch at Liberty won a Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event.

For many years she resided at the Carlyle Hotel in New York where she performed at the renowned Café Carlyle. Her continued presence was as well-known as Eloise at the Plaza. Loved by her fellow performers, her talent and spunk were memorialized by Broadway on the day of her death when all theatre lights were dimmed in her honor.

The Elaine Stritch Society was established in 2021 in dedication of her iconic bridge between Detroit and Broadway. The Society provides Cabaret 313 financial security while working on our strategic vision for the next 10 years. For membership benefits see page 13.
