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! … Phenomenal!!!!”
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. Let’s think BIG!”

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.”

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, kept up the quality standard that Faith Prince set, and made for an unforgettable evening of cabaret entertainment.”
“I’m so moved by our current times and excited to contribute to launching Future Perfect! What we dream creates our world.” Molly in Oak Park
