It’s the best of both worlds!
Experience the thrill of a big city cabaret (without the drive), while also enjoying the uniquely intimate space of Court Square Theater. Falling for Broadway: A Night of Cabaret offers a glitzy Big Apple-style performance, accompanied by an array of delectable desserts and beverages. And, the fancy fun is all for a good cause: supporting the work of Arts Council of the Valley (ACV).

Falling for Broadway: A Night of Cabaret brings acting, singing, and cabaret talents to Harrisonburg for this engaging and memorable ACV fundraiser. This upscale night of entertainment will support Arts Council of the Valley’s year-round work to cultivate the arts, create experiences, and connect communities in the City of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.

CABARET (noun) /ˈkæb.ɚ.eɪ/

Originating in France in the late 1800s, cabarets are known for their delicious mix of singing, dancing, and comedy. They are also effective at helping people set aside cares to focus on an evening of stellar vocal talent, choreography, and perfectly-timed one-liners. The idea of Falling for Broadway is to have fun – lots of it – while also raising funds to support ACV’s programs.
