Western Reserve Playhouse Presents Criss-Cross Cabaret

An intergenerational, age-bent celebration of musical theatre in collaboration with WRP’s Young Artists’ Theatre Department

Western Reserve Playhouse (WRP) proudly presents Criss-Cross Cabaret, a joyful, intergenerational showcase where adults perform songs written for kids, and kids perform songs meant for adults. This creative collaboration with WRP’s Young Artists’ Theatre Department turns expectations upside down in an evening of laughter, heart, and musical surprises.

Criss-Cross Cabaret features a spirited cast of performers spanning generations: Sharon Jackson, Lori Rodeman, Eden Rodeman, Olive Rodeman, Heidi Leither, Katie Jerome Taylor, Samantha Dawson, McKenzie Fister, Erin Heisey, Braelin Andrzejewski, and Patrick Hanlon. Together, they’ll bring a fresh, humorous, and heartfelt twist to Broadway favorites, exploring how age and perspective can completely transform the meaning of a song.

This one-night-only cabaret is part of WRP’s ongoing effort to foster community connections through creative collaboration, inviting both emerging and established artists to share the stage in unexpected ways.

Criss-Cross Cabaret will be performed at Western Reserve Playhouse, 3326 Everett Road in Bath, Ohio. Tickets are on sale now at www.thewrp.org.
