Every performer has at least one dream role that they would never be considered for, but why shouldn’t they play that character? With FEST’s one-night-only Miscast Cabaret Musical Variety Show, we aim to expand the number of roles available to our performers while also tackling questions about individual and societal biases and preferences in writing and casting. Please come and enjoy this night of fun, laughter, sadness, tears, and lots of cross-dressing.
