Lake Osprey Village Cabaret
By Jay Handelman
The music of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett and new volunteers will help revive a short-lived cabaret in Lakewood Ranch.
The former East Village Cabaret, which closed last month, will reopen Saturday as the Lake Osprey Village Cabaret with a focus on local performers and lower admission prices, property owner Norman Ferber said Tuesday.
"We have volunteers who are setting everything up for our first performance and we're going to be opening this up to the community, with schools, bands, local performers," Ferber said. "There's a tremendous amount of local talent."
By focusing on local talent and school groups, Ferber said the cabaret can keep prices down. Most performances were $20 in the past. The opening show will cost $12.
The East Village Cabaret opened last June in the Lake Osprey Village strip mall, just east of Interstate 75, as an outgrowth of the nonprofit Backlot, a warehouse-turned-theater. Executive Director Mark Marvell combined operations for the two spaces at the cabaret, but later said the venture was undercapitalized and could not continue.
Ferber, who said he had made a "sizable investment" when Marvell opened the cabaret, said, "I feel the community does need and can use a cabaret like this." "I was involved in theater in Manhattan and I want to keep going with it."
Ferber, a snowbird who spends the off-season in the Chicago area, said comedian Jack Kubes will be house manager and coordinate the scheduling with performers.
Tentative plans call for theme nights, comedy, jazz, Broadway show tunes, country-western music, folk music and Motown hits, he said.
Tahja will perform and teach belly dancing and Ferber said there are plans for opera nights and open-mike nights for anyone to perform.
"We want to have all kinds of people performing here and volunteering," he said.
The space will also be available for private functions and parties, he said.
