Two mentoring sessions so
far have been scheduled at
the Mosaic Youth Theatre in
Detroit. In past years, educa-
tional sessions have also been
scheduled for music students
at the University of Michigan,
Oakland University and
Wayne State University.
Since the start of Cabaret
313, 26 master classes have
been held.
“In our four venues for mas-
ter classes, the one that we’ve
had the most at is the Mosaic
Youth Theatre,” said Nachman,
who has watched some of the
sessions. “We don’t charge the
school or the students for the
experience. We raise funds
during the year so a performer
can stay over and do a master
class.
“The stars that we bring in
are not critical or sassy. They
understand how to gently
teach the students the art of
singing and performing. After
each student performance, the
master class teacher will give
positive reinforcement and
comments how each might
better a performance.
“A student does the performance again after having had
the tutelage of the performer, and you can see how the kids
thrive on it. Usually, their second performances, after being
armed with the constructive suggestions of the master class
teacher, are generally much better.”
Master class sessions, which work with about eight to 10
students, were started in the second year of Cabaret 313,
and sessions last about two hours.
“There are performers who love doing this,” Nachman
said. “They’re committed to the art of performance and
want to pass on what they know to the younger kids.”

“Allan deserves a lot of cred-
it for the group, and this is
my way of saying thank you. I
have been attending Cabaret
313 programs since the group’s
inception. I like the different
varieties of entertainers that
he brings in and the different
types of music that each per-
former brings to the stage.
“The educational program is
very unique and very special.
I’ve attended a few of the ses-
sions throughout the years,”
he added.
Cabaret 313 was started by
Nachman’s partnership with
Sandi Reitelman, both active
in the Jewish community.
While Nachman continued as
president, Reitelman moved
