This will be Erin Drummond’s second time at the Cabaret, having performed in “Love Songs” by David DeBlieck earlier this fall as part of our recurring Kinetic Kitchen series. But her dance career stretches back much further, having begun at the tender age of eight when she took a ballet class because her best friend Laura wanted [...]
Alexandra Owings
Another newbie! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Alexandra Owings to the fold and to her first time at Patrick’s Cabaret!
