What is a "Classic NY Cabaret" if it isn't a Theater or a Night Club? 'Cabaret' means "small Room". Traditionally, a place where patrons can peek at talent in the "seed stage" before they  become celebrities. Like the comedy clubs but with a broader range of performance styles, singing, poetry, acting what ever an entertainer thinks is "entertainment". East Village Cabaret is about providing entertainers of national renown, as well as those from our area, all people of talent, a venue from which to grow their material. We cater to our entertainers as well as our audience bringing the two together for mutual benefit. Be a part of the team. Entertain, be entertained! We will bring the popular acts back and we will constantly be looking for new talent. East Village Cabaret. It's going to be an adventure. Our goal: to be open every night!

"...where singers make Broadway ballads sound as personal as a talk between lovers, and where comics address day-to-day worries as if they were chatting in their living rooms".  James Gavin, Intimate Nights

East Village Cabaret

Unlike anything the Suncoast has to offer.  Located in a quaint shopping village. East Village Cabaret captures the true essence of the classic New York cabaret.  Under the Artistic Direction of Michael T. Sebastian the East Village Cabaret will offer a unique opportunity for performers and audiences  to share in this intimate art forum.  Performers can hone their skills and/or develop new material strengthening  the relationship with their audience all within a warm comfortable setting.  Our mission is simple...  It's all about ARTISTS!

We are seeking a variety of artists... singers, comics, improv actors, writers, poets, musicians... anyone who truly needs that connection to an audience that only cabaret can offer.  Interested artists can contact Mark Marvell at Mark@BacklotArts.com or phone 941-373 3933.
