History
The Cabaret began in 1986 as a single evening where Patrick Scully invited other artists to join him in a show of works-in-progress. The evening proved so successful, and the need for a performing venue to support new work so great, that Patrick's Cabaret grew rapidly into an essential community resource. Over the next two decades, we have maintained the original formula of presenting a shared evening with artists of mixed artistic disciplines and levels of experience, expanding to fill two weekends each month that have literally featured thousands of performances by local artists. In the early 1990's, we expanded the concept of the cabaret to include theme-specific cabarets and guest curators, such as Heidi Eckwall's Sappho Rigolo. This expansion drew new artists and audiences to Patrick's Cabaret. The number of guest curators and thematic cabarets grew slowly over the years, and has expanded rapidly since Patrick's return in 2005.
