Wordfest and The Lighter present THE CABARET!
“But what is this thing called cabaret?”
cab~a~ret (kab??r?)
2b. A restaurant or night-club in which entertainment is provided as an accompaniment to a meal; also, the entertainment so provided, a floor-show.
As in, “He spends most of his extra money at pool parlors, Austrian villages and cabaret shows,” or “Those melancholy places, the night clubs and cabarets.” (Thanks, OED!)
Or better yet, as in, “The Lighter and Wordfest proudly present their third annual Cabaret, at which no money will be collected and no melancholy will be found (or that which is found will be tidily swept up and packaged into art).”
Date: Saturday, April 4th
Time: 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Place: Refectory in Mueller Hall
Fare: Dinner provided free!
Program: a variety of musical, spoken word and visual media acts by students, faculty and staff
Rumors: a banjo in the hands of Prof. Owens, a guitar in those of Prof. Sponberg; the vocal stylings of Prof. Buinicki and Prof Childress; Nancy Drew’s alter ego channeled by Prof. Schuette-Hoffman; and more, oh, so much more…
The V.U. student chapter of the American Guild of Organists is sponsoring a hymnsing on Monday evening, February 9th from 7:30pm – 8:30pm in the upstairs gallery of the chapel (around the organ console). It is a part of the A.G.O.’s official “International Year of the Organ” celebration, and the theme we have chosen for our hymnsing is “Hymns Through History.” Come to enjoy singing many hymn favorites as well as hearing mini lectures before each hymn that will help us understand the hymn’s historical and musical context and significance. A program sure to enrich your appreciation for this dearly-loved musical tradition!
As part of Wordfest’s participation in the 150th anniversary of VU, we’re tooting our own horns and showcasing talent from within the faculty and staff. Come out…
