Cabaret Artist's Handbook: Creating Your Own Act in Today's Livliest Theater Setting

The field of cabaret performance is creative full of opportunity and excitement--and its booming! Here is the first book to show performers the ins and outs of mounting a cabaret act. Talented entertainers need to know both the creative and business aspects involved: choosing the right material finding a music director selecting wardrobe; structuring the act getting bookings publicizing the act; and even making a CD of it. Bob Harrington was cabaret columnist for Back Stage until his tragic death in 1995. Sherry Eaker editor-in-chief of Back Stage and editor of The Back Stage Handbook for Performing Artists lives in New York City.
