The Global Cabaret Festival Fifth Anniversary Weekend

offers the best in dance, music,

and theatrical cabaret under one roof, for one weekend only. The entire Young Centre is transformed into a Cabaret venue, where over 100 of Canada’s leading performing artists collaborate to create over 20 original one-hour cabarets.

Albert Schultz & Friends – Young at Heart: A cool little concert for your inner child!

Brent Carver: The Tony Award-winning actor and singer performs an original cabaret.

Antônio Carlos Jobim Songbook: A celebration of Brazil’s master of bossa nova.

Heather Bambrick – Broadsway: Heather Bambrick, Julie Michels, and Diane Leah present an eclectic show of fun and frivolity – from Sondheim to Gershwin, Rossini to Lady Gaga, and everything in between.

Barbershop Cabaret: Step into the Festival’s barbershop for music and story-telling and perhaps to have your hair cut by an on-site barber!

Bohemians in Brooklyn: A juicy cabaret by Tom Allen based on a group of artists (including W.H. Auden, Benjamin Britten and Gypsy Rose Lee) who lived in February House in Brooklyn in the early 1940s.

Dennis Lee’s Toronto: Dennis Lee and special guests present a musical journey through traditional songs of Toronto’s past, composed in our time. A tuneful new take on the city’s vibrant 200-year history.
