In New York? A bunch of servers getting together and putting on a cabaret for charity? Most definitely.
Eighteen waiters and waitresses banded together & requested-off for a special event: to sing, dance & monologue their way into the hearts of many. All proceeds will fund a Habitat For Humanity project in New Orleans this fall. Even most of the management was there supporting their staff. Unfortunately, a few people had to hold up the restaurant fort in TSQ and could not attend... that's right, the newbee's.
The cabaret was held at a local theatre right off the Square, and raised over $1200 for the volunteers. I must say, I am very proud of the people I work with. We all have talents and skills that brought us to New York City. We might have to work harder than other people beginning in their careers, but we chose New York. Serving at a restaurant is not a dead end. Of all places to be serving, Times Square is pretty prime. In the meantime, until we are famous or employed full-time... why not put on a cabaret and raise money for a charitable cause?
Can I whip up an amazing ensemble encore of Beethoven Day?
