Cabaret fall series tickets available

Jordan

Organizers for the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic’s Cabaret at The Commons fall series say they are expecting to return to sellout shows for the fall series.

Christine and Mike Elwood are sponsoring the three-concert lineup with Victoria Craig Griffin and Christopher Raskob co-sponsoring.

“The talent this series is top notch, and to see them perform anywhere else would cost big dollars,” said Donnie Robinette, Philharmonic executive director.

The intimate, sometimes informal performances are averaging more than 350 people per show, according to Robinette. Since the shows began in 2015, they have attracted ticket buyers from as far away as Louisville, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio, who say they would he paying $20 just to park for similar entertainment in those cities.
