The Cabaret

KLARA SEVERANCE-SULIMMA ‘26

The Ursuline School recently celebrated its fifth cabaret, with proceeds going towards Sanctuary for Families. Sanctuary for Families is a non-profit that helps victims of domestic abuse as well as their children. The Cabaret was student-run and consisted of many numbers from notable and iconic Broadway shows such as Hamilton, Spongebob the Musical, Wicked, Mean Girls, and many others.

The cast and crew put so much effort into the production, spending hours working to make the cabaret perfect. All of their hard work paid off in the end as they were left with a dazzling experience they will never forget. The tech crew made sure each star on stage shined. The singers hit note after note, transfixing the audience into the performance. Cameron Kai, the main choreographer, had some excellent ballet and interpretive dance numbers. Elizabeth Ortiz provided the perfect comedic relief that kept the audience laughing, while Carly Tauber dazzled the audience with her voice on “No Good Deed” from Wicked. Sienna Perez, Allie Go, Mila Paljusaj, and Aili Moorehead had the lighting down to a tee. Julia Higgins made sure every note could be heard. The cabaret had excellent accompaniments from Mr. Falipou on the piano. Many gathered in the Gabelli Auditorium to watch the Cabaret, such as Emily Trezza ‘26 who said “The show was attention-grabbing and an overall marvelous experience to watch.” Grace Irving said, “The Cabaret was a very enjoyable experience where I was able to bond with my peers.” Behind the scenes, the cast and crew got along splendidly and were a family by the end. The Cabaret connected people through beautiful performances and joined people together in support of a good cause.
