Cabaret For A Cure 2013
In Memory Of Mom
This is
it. This is the weekend to spend with us, the members of the
Cabaret, your friends and neighbors. For those of you who didn’t
join us last year, the Cabaret for a Cure is about coming together
and supporting a cure for cancer. While 80% of the ticket sales (20%
go to the Pittsfield Players Sprinkler Fund) go to the American
Cancer Society’s Making Strides Breast Cancer Research fund, this
night is about raising money and awareness of all kinds of cancer
and doing it by engaging you in laughter through tears, mom’s
favorite emotion.
For those of you who don’t know who “mom” is; she is my mother,
Elsie Morse, who passed away this year from breast cancer turned to
bone cancer. She fought this disease with never ending spirit and
tenacity. She was a quilter, an actress and director, a volunteer,
and she was and is, still, loved by many. She felt that by sharing
what she was going through she could not only educate but relieve
the burden. This, the most important lesson I took from mom’s
diagnosis, is one of the many reasons we are holding “The Cabaret
for a Cure.” The first most important thing we can do to help
prevent cancer is to make you aware of it to begin with. The second
is to raise money. The third to let you know you’re not alone. Each
member of our cast has been touched by cancer in one way or another.
Whether they knew Elsie, have a friend with cancer, work with
someone going through treatments, lost parents to the disease, or
went through it themselves.
The Cabaret is a great opportunity to share your own stories and
help out an important cause, fund raising for cancer research to
find a cure.
The doors for The Cabaret open at 7 pm as we offer chances at
raffles prizes to be announced that evening and delight you with
gourmet refreshments. The tickets are $10 at the door and we
encourage you to bring some cash for the raffles, which consist of
wonderful handmade items as well as expensive gift certificates and
much more. The show starts at 7:30 but you’re going to want to get
there early because there are no reserved seats, it is by first come
first served.
Please make sure you are a part of this magical evening, prepare to
laugh, cry, be amazed and be a part of something so much bigger than
all of us. The Cabaret for a Cure takes place in both Wolfeboro at
the Glendon Street Theatre (100% of the ticket sales go to American
Cancer Society) on September 13 and in Pittsfield at the Scenic
Theatre (80% of the ticket sales go to American Cancer Society, 20%
to the Scenic Theatre Sprinkler Fund) on September 14. Both shows
open their doors at 7 pm, both shows start at 7:30 pm. Both shows
are amazing. Be a part of something big.
