Q: Allan, in your quiet way,
you are a man of many talents:
an accomplished woodworker,
a good dancer, a passionate
art collector and co-founder
of Cabaret 313 Detroit. What’s
next?
As anyone can see in our home,
Joy and I love art. Music, too, is
a mainstay in our lives. We both
have a passion for music of all
kinds, Broadway theater, clas-
sical, opera and country. Who
knows what’s next, but today
I continue to be involved in
helping to lead Cabaret 313 and
developing its audience.
About five years ago, Joy and
I discovered a genre of music
called Cabaret — intimate
evenings of song and storytell-
ing that create a connection
between artist and audience.
When the Berman Theater
was opening at the JCC, I sat on
an advisory committee where
I met Sandi Reitelman and
discovered that she, too, had a
passion for cabaret music. So,
we got together and formed
Cabaret 313 — a non-profit
now in its fifth season with five
major performances that occur
in pop-up venues in Downtown
Detroit.
Sandi recently has stepped
down, so now I find myself run-
ning the nonprofit as president,
executive director, chief fund-
raiser and marketer — and I
couldn’t be happier donating
my time and resources to this
nonprofit, which is now a part
of the cultural fabric of Detroit.

I will say — over the “50-some”
years I’ve been involved with
Federation, I don’t think I’ve
missed more than one or two
annual meetings. To me, the
presentation of the Butzel
always has been an interest-
ing opportunity to learn what
makes leaders in our commu-
nity, to learn a bit more about
their lives and then to come up
afterward, give them a hug and
acknowledge their life’s work.
This year, I’m deeply humbled
to be the one recognized. •
