Friday, Sept. 12, was a lively night on campus as Alpha Psi Omega (APO) held its theatre cabaret. The event drew a crowd as those passing through Lakeside stopped to watch the performers.
APO is a national honorary organization that recognizes those with leadership skills and commitment to theatre. As such, this event allowed some of its members to showcase their talents. However, the event was open to all, with a sign-up sheet shared around in the days leading up to the event.
A cabaret consists of performances, including songs, dances or recitations. APO’s cabaret mainly featured musical talent. The brave souls who took to the stage in Lakeside primarily sang works from notorious musicals or popular shows. These included “Phantom of the Opera”, “Hunchback of Notre Dame”, “Heathers”, “Grease” and many more.
The event aimed at spreading awareness and showcasing some of the talent in Doane’s theatre department. For those already aware of the theatrical talent on campus, the event served as a fundraising opportunity for APO and the theatre department.
