| The tale of a lonely woman looking for love...in all the wrong places. Harlem's Night: A Cabaret Story |
In August 2005, our little show about the woes of finding love made its glorious debut at Hollywood's Masquers Cabaret. With a cast of
five, The Brown Betties burned up the tiny stage and Joe charmed the red velvet off the curtains. Our show was 25 minutes long - if
that.
You spoke, we listened.
You fans yelled, "Longer!" so we made it longer. We'd planned for only four shows that beautiful fall. You demanded: "More!" so we
laced up our bustiers and booked more shows at Masquers that year. We kept going. We moved to Silver Lake's famed El Cid for late
2006/'07 and completed a full one-year residency at LA's so-hot-it's-cool joint, The Mint in 2008. We kept goin'. We brought on a new
director and added cast. "Ms. Bettie", the Cigar/Cigarettes Girl and a tap dancer made us a family of eight.
Word on the street grew. If someone mentioned "all-black burlesque in LA" the first answer (and only answer) became:
"Brown Betties"....of Harlem's Night Cabaret.
Now sponsored by Seven 'til Midnight and NYX Cosmetics.
