- DEMOLITION!! REVOLUTION!! CONSTRUCTION!! GRAND REOPENING!!
Been to the Cabaret? Did you stand in line at the bathroom door, waiting.... waiting.... waiting? Well, we knew it was inconvenient... and the bathroom itself, well, funkier than a public bathroom really needs to be. Now, thanks to a grant from VSA and the Faerie Grandmother, we are going to go from just 1 bathroom to 5!!. Five really nice beautiful bathrooms, each with its very own sink. But, in order to do this, we have to demolish our lobby. Dig Holes in Floors. Put in New Light Fixtures. Paint.
But that's not all! We also have a large (1,780 sq ft) space that shares the back hallway with Patrick's that is available for long-term lease starting March, 2012. With its own private keyless entrance. Its own brand new Heating and Air Conditioning. Operating Skylights. Off street parking. And you can configure that space any way you would like because it will also be fresh from acquiring new bathrooms.
We will be closed beginning December 19. But we expect to be open for rehearsals and classes by early to mid February 2012. Stay up to date with our progress by visiting us on Facebook where we will post pictures of the work in progress. Deep Holes. Sharp Angles. Unidentified Tools. And other interesting developments.
We can't wait to entertain you, in more comfort than ever before, beginning with our Grand Reopening Event in March 2012.
- Patrick's welcomes Gabby Santiago (performer and former Patrick's intern) and Katie Hatt
to the Board. Thanks to Kristine Smith and all who have served before.
- In April of 2012 Patrick's Cabaret will present the SCUBA National Touring Network for Dance, a NEA nationally-recognised consortium of contemporary dance presenters founded and driven by artists. Previously at the Southern Theater, Patrick's joins some of the most exciting dance communities in the country: ODC Theater in San Francisco, Velocity Dance Center in Seattle, and Philadelphia Dance Projects. Since 2009, the Minnesota Scuba initiative has been operated under the guidance of Laurie Van Wieren, past performer at Patrick's and former Dance Curator at the Southern. The 2011-2012 season will mark the ten-year anniversary of this innovative model.
- We're always so thankful to all of our volunteers who help make our shows that much easier to produce. More recently we've conceptualized our "Street Team" ~ an additional opportunity for volunteering ~ handing out fliers in your area, spreading the word about our upcoming events via social media sites, writing a show review for our
blog, and/or getting the word out about the Cabaret in whatever way you
know best! Street Team members receive volunteer hours and
recognition.
Please contact Communications & Volunteer Coordinator, Sara Jo Lehrer by email or 612-724-6273 if you're interested in any of our volunteer opportunities.
