"Outstanding Special Event"

Dear Friends,

I've curated a new European cabaret series at the Spencertown Academy in upstate New York which opened in May and will feature Kabarett Kollektif members Marni Rice and Theo Bleckmann in June and July (see Calendar). I’ve also teamed with the Duo Theater, a jewel of a space in the E. Village, on some cabaret. For our first evening, I’m re-staging Kim Smith’s “Johnny Come Lately” to play there on June 25th as part of Gay Pride Week.

This spring Kabarett Fete, NY's festival for European Cabaret, was honored with the 2008 Back Stage Bistro Award for "Outstanding Special Event!" Click photo for the interview:

We've enhanced the site! Read about Kabarett Fete under PROJECTS. TEACHING includes info about my private mentorship, Cabaret Colloquia, and the founding of the Peter E. Kohler Scholarship in Cabaret Performance - the first scholarship of its kind in the world! For fun, check out new pics on the GALLERY page.

Happy Summer - Vive le Cabaret!
