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.
