Audition Anthems Cabaret – Weathervane Playhouse

A Fundraising Event to Benefit Weathervane Playhouse

This summer’s Cabaret will be held on Monday, June 23rd at the Earthworks Café & Lounge at Newark Station, located at 325 W Main St, Newark, OH 43055.

Enjoy song selections commonly performed as audition pieces by our company members and group songs that are well-known favorites. Pre-show entertainment will be provided by Chad DiBlasio.

New for 2025: Your ticket does NOT include your meal or beverages. Tickets are only $30 each. A customized menu at the venue will be available for you to order your preferred dinner and the bar can accommodate almost unlimited drink selections. This customization allows you to choose your favorites.

Seating is first-come, first-serve! Earthworks Café & Lounge has a variety of seating options, including dining tables, high-top tables, bar seating, and couches. Choose where you feel comfortable for the evening’s festivities. If you have a large group and want to sit together, please arrive early to secure seating together.

Cocktail hour begins at 5 PM, allowing you to arrive at your convenience, select your preferred seat, enjoy our pre-show entertainment, participate in our raffle, and mingle with our company members before the performance begins at 6 PM.
