The following three cabarets are each 15-minute sets. Can a leopard change its spots? Can 'the good girl' ever be 'bad?' Toni Cervino tries on a few new musical skins in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: The Girl I Mean To Be. Tina Stump pieces together love, loss, laughter, jealousy and life experience to form a mosaic of the many shades of Black and Blue. Even though love is blind, deaf, dumb, mute, balding and has a beer belly, Nadia Tarnawsky believes you just can't live without it in The Co-Dependency Cabaret. Following intermission, Rob Gibb performs his 50-minute cabaret, The Lush Life. Rob has traveled around the world several times, drinking the entire way. Having imbibed ports in Portugal, sakes in Tokyo, vodkas in Moscow, countless beers in London and Brussels, endless wines in Sonoma, the Finger Lakes region, Sydney and Madrid, and exotic liqueurs throughout the Caribbean, he has transformed his vast experience into his third performance for the Cleveland Cabaret Project.

The following two cabarets are each 25-minute sets. Who would have thought that the first song you learned as a kid would foreshadow your entire life? June Lang reviews some of the good (and not so good) advice she has received in her life through song — the good, the bad and the ugly in Very Good Advice. Laurel Held-Posey, Ayeshah Douglas, Michelle Moye and Liz Rubino celebrate the music and life of the late Eva Cassidy, whose voice was silenced by cancer at the age of 33 in Songbird: The Music of Eva Cassidy. Following intermission Monica Olejko and Lora Workman perform Confessions of Two Middle-Aged Party Girls. Two women. Both dancers. Both directors. Both choreographers. But don't be misled — this 50-minute cabaret is no Lillithfair!

Wild carrot's entertaining and moving performances have something for everyone and have often been described as 'honest, soothing, uplifting and fun all at the same time', moving an audience from laughter to tears and back again in a way that makes the listener feel like they're in a conversation with old friends. All of this adds up to a performance that's been described as 'seamless, life-sized, complex, subtle and powerful' and 'a joy.'

as Thaddeus Rex and rarer still, a musician who
weaves educational content into his tunes in a hip
way.' -TimeOut New York Kids
