CCP (Chicago Cabaret Professionals - http://www.chicagocabaret.org/ ) continues a tradition that has just about disappeared in the other areas of the country: A HOLIDAY CABARET - an event to benefit children & teen charities. This year the show will be presented on two nights at DAVENPORT'S (1383 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL - 773-278-1830 - http://www.davenportspianobar.com/ ) on December 1st & 2nd at 7:30 pm. Titled "Yule Love It", the shows will benefit a different charity each night.

On Monday, December 1st the beneficiary will be Teen Living Programs (http://www.teenliving.org/ ) on behalf of homeless teens in the Chicago area. Directed by Amy Cole and Cheryl Szucsits, with musical direction by Bob Moreen, performers included Helene Alter-Dyche, Arlene Bardelle, Hilary Ann Feldman, Russel Goeltenbodt, Carla Gordon, Sophie Grimm, Tommy Hensel, Judy Loyd, Laurie Marchese, Ann McGregor, Debbie Miller Koziarz, Johanna Nauraine, Beverly Opelka, Greta Pope, Jo Rainey, Cheryl Szucsits, Roger Schmelzer, Janet Skidmore, Nicolle VanDyke and Melissa Young.

The show on Tuesday, December 2nd, proceeds will benefit Save The Children (http://www.Savethechildren.org/ ). Musical direction in by George Howe and featured performers are Francesca Amari, Claudia Anderson, Amy Cole, Michelle Coughlin, Bill Dunnam, Mary Maureen Gentile, Michelle Greenberg, Patti Kinsella, Michelle Lazowski, Rob Lindley, Kristopher McDowell, Marianne Murphy Orland, Pam Peterson/Boomer Babies, Suzanne Petri, Mary Rademacher, Rachel Renee, Joanna Riopelle, Bob Solone, Jeanne Scherkenbach and Marjorie Walton.

There is a $20 cover for each event, plus a 2-drink minimum.

SPECIAL NOTE: These HOLIDAY CABARET events on behalf of children's causes were, at one time, held in many cities around the country, in some cases sponsored by cabaret performer associations as part of a coordinated effort. The HOLIDAY CABARET shows had their start in the Los Angeles area. Most HOLIDAY CABARETs were discontinued after 9/11 - with the Chicago show being just about the last one still continuing.
