A

s the nonprof-
it Cabaret 313 
announces its 11th 
season of bringing acclaimed 
musical stars to the Detroit 
area for evenings of enter-
tainment, the organization is 
also planning for mentoring 
sessions aimed at local music 
students and featuring visiting 
celebrities.
The season opening pro-

gram, “Soiree,” is scheduled 
for Sunday, Sept. 10, at 
the Orchard Lake Country 
Club and will spotlight the 
talents of Tony-nominated 
Broadway star Josh Young 
performing his new show, 
These Are a Few of My 
Favorite Strings, saluting 
the music of Rodgers and 
Hammerstein. 
Young, who has been 
teaching at Oakland 
University, has appeared 
before the group. 
“I was inspired to sup-
port this program because 
of my long-term friendship 
and relationship with Allan 
Nachman, who has done a 
tremendous amount to bring 
Cabaret 313 to the Detroit 
area,” said Sam Shamie, 
semi-retired in the real estate 
management business and 

Cabaret 313 plans a star-studded 
11th season and mentoring sessions 
for local students.
