TOASTING SPRING: The Arts Council of Princeton presents the ninth annual Cabernet Cabaret performance featuring Sarah Donner on Friday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. This virtual cabaret will usher in spring with hope, sequins, and jazz hands.

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) presents the ninth annual Cabernet Cabaret featuring Sarah Donner & Friends, a virtual cabernet-infused evening on Friday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. This year’s theme, “Emerge from the Dark: Songs to Spring Forth!” will include showtunes and witty banter. Selections include songs from Frozen, West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Into The Woods, and Ragtime.

“We have been hunkered down for what has been the darkest winter for many of us. Cabernet Cabaret 2020 was the last live show that I performed prior to the pandemic lockdown,” said Donner. “Let’s raise a glass to a virtual evening of showtunes celebrating new beginnings and the light at the end of these dark days.”

New for 2021, Cabernet Cabaret ticket buyers are entitled to a 15 percent discount on select bottles of wine at Princeton Corkscrew Wine Shop. Attendees will receive a code to use on the Corkscrew website, active from April 9-16. Tickets are $25 and available at artscouncilofprinceton.org. All proceeds benefit the Arts Council of Princeton, helping to close the gap created by COVID.
