BURLINGTON, ON April 21, 2012 He is back! The show is going to take to the stage, the show biz career is being revived and you are invited to be there – Come to the Mayor`s Cabaret.
The Cabaret was an event the Mayor of Burlington dreamed up during his first year of office. It got off to a bit of a bumpy start with a change in the event date but this show is now ready for the stage. This city has a tradition of the Mayor holding a sort of Gala event at which funds are raised that the Mayor gets to distribute. The only rule is that the Mayor doesn’t hold a Gala in an election year.
It is going to take place at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre on September 29, 2012. It will be a variety show featuring special guests Lighthouse and The Arrogant Worms, along with some very talented local artists. The Mayor believes this is sure to be a “spectacular evening”. As long as he doesn’t play the piano – it will be an entertaining evening. And eh, don`t bring that “song and dance” guy back – the one who tripped over his broom and forgot the words to the song he was singing.
It is going to be an evening of fun with the community out enjoying itself. This was done when the Blue Jeans Gala was held and we got to see and hear some of the talent Burlington has produced. The Spoons were on stage and Silverstein was there with all the energy and big sound they bring to what they do. That was a blast!
Proceeds will go to the Burlington Performing Arts Centre; and proceeds there should be. Through ticket sales, both a silent and a live auction and a cocktail reception the Mayor hopes to raise a significant sum for the BPAC. Mark the date on your calendar. September 29th. Tickets can be ordered from the BPAC:
