TESTIMONIALS

On Call poster

“I’m so moved by our current times and excited to contribute to launching Future Perfect! What we dream creates our world.” Molly, Oak Park

I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute, with tears in my eye, as it hit so close to home and felt very personal, something that I lived and still do. The music was phenomenal. Dr. Iryna A., family physician

CPCx 2018 Faith and Alex 773

Faith Prince was the opening act. “Where can this evening possibly go from here?” Charles Troy wondered. “Fortunately, the terrific Chicago cabaret talent lineup that followed her — Cindy Firing, Johnny Rodgers, Spidie Saloff, Cynthia Clarey, Denise Tomasello, and the remarkable and talented woman who organized this 8-day conference/classes/entertainment extravaganza, Claudia Hommel, made for a unforgettable evening of cabaret entertainment.

Cabaret Connexion singer Evelyn Danner, “Everyone who went seems to have a heightened sense of self. I know I do! Thank you for all you do. You have helped me see myself differently. The winds of change are a-blowin’.”

Dorothy Andries of Pioneer Press says: For a few hours, we were in Paris, transported by a marvelous cabaret show at the Ravinia Festival starring the remarkable singer Claudia Hommel. An excellent actress, she can set a mood with a turn of her head and the look in her eyes.

CPCx 2019 Christian Pages teaching

Cabaret Connexion Chicago conference, Roxane Assaf writes: “WOW WOW WOW. I’m absolutely blown away by the quality you made happen here. I knew it would be interesting. I figured it would be rewarding. But this was straight-up conservatory-grade incubation.”

Carmen writes: “A good cause. My heart easily melts when children’s growth is concerned… If each one of us can only give $1000, even if ‘we cannot afford,’ then the goal is reached.

Deneen, hearing Christine Steyer’s performance of the new Future Perfect aria “Red Is a Trick,” searched us out in order to send a generous check and wrote, “I left Saturday with such a happy heart after hearing you sing!”
