​

Sharon Rae Massey: You’re the Top, Accompanied by John Massey

​

Ella Wyatt: Changing My Major, Accompanied by John Massey

Ella Wyatt is thrilled to be back with OC Cabaret! She is currently the drama teacher at San Clemente High School and can also be found performing and directing all over Orange County. Her current production of The Spitfire Grill, at The Cabrillo Playhouse, is approaching its fourth and final weekend, and her radio show, All the World’s a Stage, is on Tuesdays from 4-6pm on KXFM. Not having a theme this [show] was very difficult for her.

​

Erik Lindenau: Old Town Road

 Erik is happy to be back at OC Cabaret! He would very much like to impress you with his bio, but finds that it is a better use of your time to share this beautiful picture of a potato: (See visual at show)

​

Gabby Musquez: Breathe 

Gabby is always happy to be back at KelsCabaret, where every show feels like coming home. She is forever thankful for the opportunity to keep singing and performing, and for everyone who continues to encourage and support her. Shout out to her friends who picked this song during blind karaoke which inspired her to perform this for you tonight.

​

Sarah Medina: Tears Dry On Their Own 

Sarah is thrilled to be part of the OC Cabaret! She is a graduate of the class of 2018 from UC Irvine with a double major in drama and Urban and regional planning. She currently resides in Santa Ana where she spends her free time studying music theory and generating dungeons and dragons characters. She loves live performances whether she is sitting in the audience at the Segerstrom or moshing in the pit at the observatory.

​

Tim Magoun: Not While I’m Around, Accompanied by John Massey

Tim is excited to be back at the OC Cabaret! He’s currently a cast member of ImprovCity’s Friday/Saturday troupe. He has been always striving to expand his creativity, whether through acting classes, guitar lessons, or singing lessons. You can catch him on select Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm or 9:30pm each month. Being on stage and moving people, either to laughter or tears, is what makes him feel alive.

​

Anissa Valadez: I Say No, Accompanied by John Massey

Anissa is excited to be back at OC Cabaret and even more excited that there’s no theme this month…which means no overthinking, no matching assignments, and no pretending she didn’t immediately choose a song from one of her dream shows. Tonight she’s performing I Say No from Heathers, because sometimes the answer is self-respect, personal growth, and a killer belt. When she’s not on stage, she works in the wedding industry, survives on musical theatre playlists, and is probably trying to convince herself to audition for a show. OC Cab has become one of her favorite creative homes, and she’s endlessly grateful for the community that lets her sing loudly.

​

Matt Hoover: If I Sing, Accompanied by John Massey

Matt Hoover is excited to share a side of himself that audiences don't often get to see. Known for his energetic medleys, humor, and love of musical theater, tonight's performance is something much more personal.

This song is dedicated to Matt's father, who passed away when Matt was young. While many years have gone by, the lessons, memories, and love he left behind continue to shape the person Matt is today. Through this performance, Matt hopes to honor his father's memory and celebrate the lasting connection that exists beyond time and distance.

When he's not on stage, Matt can usually be found spending time with his husband, spoiling his beloved pup Kuzco, planning themed parties, or finding any excuse to sing a show tune. He is grateful for the opportunity to share this piece of his heart and hopes it serves as a reminder to cherish the people we love and carry them with us wherever we go.

​

Chris Fine, Sharon Rae Massey, and John Massey: Who I’d Be, Accompanied by John Massey

Chris Fine has studied theater at Saddleback College, South Coast Repertory, and the Open Jar Institute in NYC. Some favorite theater credits include Caleb in The Spitfire Grill at The Lyceum through Vanguard University, Trebonius in Julius Caesar with Shakepeare by the Sea, Homer/others in Charlottes Web at Phantom Projects, Shrek in Shrek: The Musical at Stagelight, and Seymour in Little shop of horrors at Saddleback College. He recently debuted in his first feature film on Amazon, Squeaky Directed by Jared Cohn. He hopes you enjoy the show!  instagram: @chris_fine

By day, you can find her working as a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant at a sports rehab clinic in Costa Mesa.

​

Kennedy Jensen: Audition (Fools Who Dream)

Kennedy Jensen is beyond thrilled to be back for this month’s Kelsbaret, after a little over a year since her last performance for “2000s Night” (what a throwback!) Some of her credits include Birdbrain: A New Children’s Musical, Cupid’s Café, and The Problem With Men (upcoming web series!). Despite her Musical Theater BFA, she rarely gets the opportunity to sing in-front of a live audience, so she is excited to share her talents with everyone, and celebrate everyone’s talents as well.

​

Cassidie Knickelbein: History of the Wrong Guys

Cassidie Knickelbein is thrilled to be performing in tonight's cabaret! A singer and performer with a background in live entertainment and vocal ensembles, she loves connecting with audiences through heartfelt storytelling and a touch of humor. When she's not onstage, you can usually find her discovering new music, working on creative projects, or dreaming up her next performance. Thank you for being here—enjoy the show

Hayley Sperber: An Original Song: “Wistful Remembrance” on Ukelele

Music has always been a passion of Hayley’s, and she has been singing or playing an instrument for as long as she can remember. She is currently a cast member of ImprovCity’s Tuesday Troupe!

Kelsey Redmond: "Have You Ever" and "Dan"

"Those close to me know I love the outdoors almost more than dogs, which is saying a lot. I’m very lucky to have had a lot of outdoor adventures, including Whitewater rafting, snowshoeing, wild swimming, snow skiing and backpacking. Some of my more adventurous outdoor memories have been backpacking to Havasupai Falls in the Grand Canyon, scaling Half Dome in Yosemite, and backpacking to the summit of Mount Whitney, which is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States. In all I’ve seen however, my favorite has to be traveling all over the mountains in central Idaho in the Sawtooth National Forest. This closing piece is a cut of two songs that I think really explain the love that humankind has for the outdoors —most especially when you allow yourself to be existential in nature, whether alone or with friends, I hope you enjoy." -Kelsey
