Dear Friends,
Thanks to generous support from the Saint Paul Cultural Star Program Actors Theater is able to present a collection of talent and performances unlike anything else now playing in Minnesota. Cabaret from the USA! is a four-show series bringing to Minnesota some of the greatest cabaret acts performing today. The 120 seat Cabaret in Camp Bar provides an ideal venue to experience these tremendous shows in an intimate way. Each show has a very limited seating and only a handful of performances. I encourage you to act quickly so that you will have the best selection of performances.
Bill Collins
Managing Director

SIMPLY BARBRA CHRISTMAS!
starring Steven Brinberg
December 1 – 4, 2011
Steven Brinberg has been called the premier Barbra Streisand impressionist, performing to international acclaim both on stage and television (and performing regularly with Marvin Hamlisch) as he pays homage to Streisand. Brinberg has twice toured Australia, New Zealand, and England to rave reviews. Brinberg returns to Camp to perform a collection of songs drawn from Streisand’s quintuple-platinum “A Christmas Album” and her new release, “What Matters Most.”
“…uncanny ability to truly capture Streisand’s vocal mannerisms in speech and song!” - The Stage, London
“Almost as luminous as Streisand herself…a remarkably fluid voice…a star of cult status has been born” -Sydney Morning Herald
“Absolutely brilliant! Affectionate and wickedly funny.” -Eric Myers, Time Out New York

(starring Madame) Co-starring Rick Skye. Pianist Ricky Ritzel.
February 2 – 4, 2012
Before there was Paris, Lindsay or Britney, there was Madame! The world’s most infamous diva is back in all her glory with a new man on her arm, and the same biting wit that has made her a cultural icon. “Today to become a celebrity you need a million dollar stylist and a pricey publicist. In my day, all you needed was a cheap pair of knees pads!” Madame with an E is a hilarious romp through the life of a legendary lady. Part Broadway musical, part autobiography, this multi media valentine to show business combines the double-entendre comedy material of the beloved puppet-character originally created by Wayland Flowers, with up-to-the-minute current event commentary and dishey gossip about Hollywood celebrities past and present. The show, filled with songs both original and classic, showcases Madame’s very blue sense of humor and is for adults only. “For anyone interested in seeing the rebirth of a nightclub legend (and hearing jokes about sex, drinking and husbands) the show is a must-see!” – The Press of Atlantic City

Leslie Jordan, fresh off his supporting role in the critically acclaimed box office smash The Help as well as a Summer 2011 sold-out Southeast tour, brings his new one-man show to the Cabaret at Camp Bar for the first time! Featuring behind-the-scene stories from the star-studded, record-setting hit film The Help as well as wildly entertaining anecdotes about the highs and lows of life on the road, Jordan’s natural born storytelling keeps every audience in stitches! His autobiographical one-man show Like a Dog on Linoleum performed to sold-out audiences from coast to coast. His play Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life Thus Far packed houses in Los Angeles and had a successful seven month run Off-Broadway. An Emmy Award-winner for his recurring role on Will & Grace, his creation of Brother Boy in the cinematic cult classic Sordid Lives and his acclaimed turn as both autobiographical author and star of My Trip Down the Pink Carpet have collectively brought Jordan into households, stages and movie screens throughout the world. Jordan is the consummate raconteur in every sense; this is a show you must see!

A reclusive librarian finds a book 123 years overdue and he’s compelled to embark on a worldwide quest to track down the borrower and in the process uncovers a mystery that transcends the ages. or is he just mad?
Star Tribune theater critic, Graydon Royce, picked it as:
ONE OF THE BEST PEFROMANCES OF 2009 IN THE TWIN CITIES
“LINTEL is seductively entertaining. O’Brien crackles with intensity. He has reached deep inside this odd duck for an honest portrayal that wastes not a single tic, sly wink, or aside. He finds more in the script than Berger perhaps ever intended, and the play is richer for it.”
-Graydon Royce, Star Tribune
Tickets: $14 - $19
