WHAT : “Love Letters (A Cabaret)”
WHERE : The Trane Studio
WHEN : 3rd February, 800PM
Organized by Lene, Mean, and Green Productions, ‘Love Letters (A Cabaret)’ was a fun amateur night out. The evening promised nine performers who would “serenade the audience with show tunes, top hits, and even some originals”, and all proceeds went to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Alvin Alba, Aristotle Domingo, Lumena Daniel, Andrea Mapili, Jamie Mason, Geoff Stevens, Holly Timpener, Adam Vaz, and singer-songwriter Arlene Paculan all performed beautiful heart-wrenching songs. Whether they strummed along with their acoustic guitar, played the keyboard, or relied simply on their vocal chords as an instrument, the evening was definitely one way to start getting in the mood for Valentine’s Day.
Unfortunately not everyone was blessed with such professional and incredible musical talents as Arlene Paculan herself, but no one seemed to mind when a note (or five) was sung out of tune. After all, the evening was meant to be light and with proceeds going to a good cause, where’s the harm in lack of talent?
