Cabaret This Weekend

An Austin staple, the Capital City Men's Chorus, is putting on their fourth annual Midnight Cabaret this weekend. The Chorus' Artistic Director, Jeffrey Jones-Ragona, explained to us the impetus for starting an annual cabaret: the Chorus wanted to sing some music that they didn't feel comfortable performing in their typical venues (churches), so they set this up a few years ago at the Vortex. He describes it as "Twisted but not dangerous; tasteless but not icky; mature but not "adult;" and mostly naughty but not nasty." In other words, good, bawdy fun.
The Chorus will be joined by emcee Rob Faubion, as well as a couple of instrumentalists. Tickets are $20 for regular seating and can be purchased online or at LOBO, 3204-A Guadalupe (454-5406) and Tapelenders, 1114 W 5th St. (472-0844).
