These include: celebrated cabaret performers Francesca Amari and Doug Graham, actor/dancer John Ferrare, actor/singer Andrew Knifer, stage manager/singer Lin Gillham, actor/singer Alan Denny, and 14-year-old actor/singer Garrett Hoy. Hoy was featured in the first DRP production of FALSETTOS and is soon to be featured in the 2014-15 season opener ANITA BRYANT DIED FOR YOUR SINS. Also appearing will be the Hula Me Kala Dance Troupe from Cathedral City. Frequent DRP Musical Director Steven Smith will accompany.

Tickets are $40 each and include pre-show reception of hors d’oeuvres, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages provided by Lulu California Bistro and Acqua Pazza California Bistro, and desserts at intermission from iPastries.
