Megan’s Making It! A 40th Cabaret
March 15 @ 8:00 pm - 11:30 pm
$40
Original songs, featured guests, and a full band take us through the trials & tribulations of a woman reaching a certain age in this New York-style Cabaret. Special Guests! Full Band! Bar!
Q: What better way is there to celebrate turning 40 than through original songs, featured guests, and a full band? A: NOTHING. In this delightful romp through the trials & tribulations of a woman approaching a certain age, you’ll laugh, cry, and celebrate getting older with Megan Phillips and friends in this 40th Cabaret and Fundraiser!
From the creator of Grease, Too!, The Anxiety Show, and Not Enough comes a new show from Phillips, a Vancouver-raised comedian, singer, songwriter, actor, & writer Megan Phillips.
“Making It! is a tribute to Mid-Life Incoming: the tough stuff like career bumps, dating struggles, and self-doubt – but also the gushy stuff – like our growth, our fortitude, and the power of community.”
It’s all done in a style popularized in New York cabaret venues: original songs (mostly comedic) are mixed with pop/musical theatre covers and stand-up/written spoken banter, performed with a full band and special guests.
Previous shows of Phillips have been named CBC’s Top 5 Female picks at Winnipeg Fringe, a top reason to visit Edmonton, and What to See by The Vancouver Sun.
