Our cabaret event is different this year. We decided to feature only a few artists and give them time to really have a chance to perform.
Our Artists this year are:

Will Gartshore - One of Washington's most respected musical theatre performers, having won two Helen Hayes Awards, for his performances in Urinetown and Assassins, and with a total of 7 nominations.


Maureen Mullaney
- Considered to be one of the most promising emerging jazz and blues vocalists, Maureen Mullaney is a regular performer at Washington D.C.’s best jazz clubs and events including Twins Jazz, Utopia and the Phillips After 5 Series. Maureen has an extensive Musical Theater background, receiving a TANYS (Theater Association of New York State) award for Best Actress in a Musical. Her c.d.

Rockin' Women's Night

Hope Leigh Rollins - Hope Leigh is a DC artist bread locally at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and American University's Music and theatre program. Her original music flirts with pop and roots itself in a playful folk sound.


Esmirelda - Warning! Not for the anal retentive or close minded! Esmirelda's funny, she's poignant, she's got a wicked sense of humor. Esmirelda has performed everywhere from CBGBs, to The Lincoln Memorial, to some sleazy bathhouse in Philadelphia. She's won 19 local Wammie Awards and Two Billboard Awards. She's like someone put Zappa, The Lunachicks, and Mojo Nixon in a blender.
