INDIANAPOLIS — Q Artistry will expand programming to Mass Ave by offering Cabaret Poe in partnership with Theatre On The Square this fall. The production has appeared at the Q Artistry “home space” in the Historic Irvington Lodge since 2009, but will make the move to downtown with the original cast but with new set design and lighting.
“The opportunity to work with Ben Asaykwee and Q Artistry is something that Theatre on the Square just couldn’t pass up,” states Lori Raffel, Artistic Director of TOTS. “Ben and his team are so talented and original — Cabaret Poe is the perfect element for us to add to our season.”
Along with performances throughout the month of October, the partnership will also host school shows during the day. In 2014, over 800 high school students from all over the state came to Indianapolis to see the show. This year, they expect that number to grow. “We couldn’t be more excited to join forces for this,” says Ben Asaykwee, Artistic Executive Director of Q Artistry and creator/composer of Cabaret Poe. “TOTS is an Indianapolis institution and we are thrilled to appear in their groundbreaking lineup of a season.”
Q Artistry performances will then return to Irvington for the wildly popular Q-munity show in November, Al In Boogie Wunderland, and holiday shows in December.
Cabaret Poe will run Oct. 3rd through Oct 31st. More information is available at qartistry.org, tots.org, cabaretpoe.com. For information on booking school shows, please e-mail ben@qartistry.org
