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

Cabaret Artist's Handbook: Creating Your Own Act in Today's Livliest Theater Setting by Harrington, Bob. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780823088522.

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.
