Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Cynthia Collins views cabaret as a special genre.
“One in which we have all enjoyed throughout our careers,” Collins said. “It’s personal and intimate and allows the performer to get at the heart of every song to make it truly their own.”
That’s why Collins and fellow ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Don Farrell are excited about their second year in collaboration with Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel with their ATI Live at Feinstein’s series. The 2022 schedule was recently released.
“I, personally, love singing in that space,” Collins said. “Although it is fashioned after Feinstein’s 54 Below in NYC, I feel this design has a bit more warmth to it. All the artists ATI presents at Feinstein’s are either our friends in the business or associated with friends of ours. That’s how this business works, one degree of separation. We want to promote and showcase these talented performers, not only because they are friends, but because they are extremely talented, highly respected professionals.”
Farrell said ATI is thrilled to continue the partnership at the venue “to celebrate the power of live cabaret and enhance the quality of life for our Carmel community, our central Indiana community and the patrons of Feinstein’s.”
