FREE Holiday Cabaret Event
by Braelin Andrzejewski 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

*Join us for a joyful, totally free community event as we wrap up the 2025 Cabaret Season at Western Reserve Playhouse!* All year long, our Broadway Bingo ensemble has listened to one another sing, cheer, experiment, and grow. For our final celebration of the year, they’re giving each other the gift of song. Inspired by Secret Santa, this special cabaret is a secret song gift exchange. Every performer has chosen a surprise song for someone else in the ensemble… and everyone will sing this time. No bingo cards, no competition. This is a warm, generous evening of music shared between friends, and with you. This night marks our final send-off to Broadway Bingo until 2026, and we can’t imagine closing the season in any other way. Come celebrate creativity, community, and the magic of giving someone the perfect song. *Free admission. All are welcome.* Come be part of our end-of-year musical celebration!
