The Saturday Night Special - A Year of Cabaret "Best Of"

The ninth feature in Matthew Lorenz’s YEAR of Cabaret! cycle at Davenport’s Cabaret Bar. The first Saturday night booking for this series and a night that is sure not to disappoint; our year in retrospective will feature only the best from featured performers Daryl Nitz, Cami LeBlanc, Hailey Cohen, Brianna Murray, Steele Fitzwater, and Dana Brown from the “Dakota Boys,” all hosted by Chicago cabaret phenom and fellow YEAR of Cabaret! performer, Grace Currie. Plan to stick around for a Davenport's double header, Daryl Nitz’s legendary front room performance following the show.
