WHAT IS MARCH IS CABARET MONTH?

The concept of MARCH IS CABARET MONTH was originally developed by cabaret venue owners in NYC to increase the awareness - and attendance - of cabaret events during the slow months of winter. The month of March was chosen because, in those days, the month would kick off with the annual BACK STAGE BISTRO awards gala and end with the annual MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) AWARDS show. However, as MAC began to reschedule its awards show later into April and then into May, and the BACK STAGE BISTRO awards show became a private event for winners and their friends only (the publication no longer operates the BISTRO AWARDS) the concept of MARCH IS CABARET MONTH faded away.

In January of 2008, CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE, an online website and twice weekly e-mail newsletter with 3400+ subscribers, took upon itself the task of resurrecting MARCH IS CABARET MONTH with the support of performers, venues and cabaret organizations. Special MARCH IS CABARET MONTH events are held around the world each year, kicked off by a special MARCH IS CABARET MONTH GALA presented in NYC.

We are happy to announce that MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets - http://www.macnyc.com/ ) has now scheduled their ANNUAL MAC AWARDS show to take placeat the end of MARCH IS CABARET MONTH on Thursday, March 29th at BB KING'S BLUES CLUB (237 West 42nd Street, NYC)
