HARRISONBURG, VA (ACV) – Experience the thrill of a big city cabaret evening – without the drive – in the uniquely intimate space of Court Square Theater. Falling for Broadway: A Night of Cabaret offers a glitzy Big Apple-style performance, accompanied by an array of delectable desserts and delicious drinks. Plus, the fancy fun is all for a good cause: supporting the work of Arts Council of the Valley (ACV).

Tickets ($125) are now on sale for the Saturday, November 1 fundraiser, which begins at 7 pm with beverages and sweet bites, followed by the cabaret performance at 8 pm. Dress is “creative cocktail attire.”

Falling for Broadway showcases the unique acting, singing, and cabaret talents of Tracy Lynn Olivera, a soprano based in the metro Washington, DC area. Ms. Olivera has appeared on Broadway (in the 2009 revival of Ragtime), and at multiple venues in the DC area, including The Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, and Ford’s Theatre. A two-time Helen Hayes Award Winner (for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Musical, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Musical), and a nine-time nominee, she has appeared in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Assassins, Les Miserables, Candide, and A Little Night Music, to name just a few.

Accompanist Lonell Johnson III is a DC-born keyboardist, musical director, educator, and producer who’s in demand for his dynamic presence and versatile artistry. With roots in jazz, classical, gospel, and contemporary music, Johnson captivates audiences through performances that balance soulful emotion with technical brilliance—leaving a lasting impression wherever he plays, from the DC Jazz Festival to The Kennedy Center.

Originating in France in the late 1800s, cabarets are known for their delicious mix of singing, dancing, and comedy. They are also effective at helping people set aside cares to focus on an evening of stellar vocal talent, choreography, and perfectly timed one-liners. The idea of Falling for Broadway is to have fun – lots of it – while also raising funds to support ACV’s programs.
