Lately he's been fortunate enough to have been cast in several Miscellanea TV projects, and enjoyed seeing them premiere in film festivals.

Recent regional credits include "Wiggles" in the new musical "Birdbrain" and cast recording, as well as sticking her hand up every puppet in “Avenue Q." Miscellanea TV series. 2x Best Vocals, ImprovCity. Best Actress, Special Award for "Lady Luck" Cinematic European Film Festival. Silver Award Best Actress Paris Film Awards for "Make Your Bed."

Robert Burns: Tonight at 8

Robert is stoked from being one year away from full Social Security and Medicare. As a performer, he is a proud member of ImprovCity Mainstage and enjoys auditioning for commercials on a regular basis. His dream acting job would be to work on a sitcom, but he wouldn’t turn down a Broadway show if asked. Thank you for being here tonight at eight.

​

Sharon Rae Massey: That’s The Way it Is- &Juliet

Sharon Rae Massey would like to dedicate this song to everyone who felt hopeless and defeated in 2025. To everyone who looked at the world and thought “Gods, what in the actual living *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* is going on?” To the ones who continue to push through the crap and intolerance and fight and speak up for justice, rights and humanity for their fellow humans when the world is so determined to silence them. To the ones who loved, and continue to love and show love. To the ones that kept their hope lit and continued to believe that there is good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for. 

​

Patrick Castillo: "Un-Break My Heart" in memory of Marc Gehlke

Patrick is overjoyed to be back at OC Cabaret. He's been doing theatre all across OC for over 10 years and has created a wonderful chosen family in that time. Previous shows he's been in are: American Idiot, Annie, Cabaret, The Drowsy Chaperone, Fiddler on the Roof, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, James & The Giant Peach, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sister Act, and Young Frankenstein. When not in a show you can find him crocheting many garments, writing original song lyrics, and occasionally recording vocals for his rapper friends.

 

Stephen Prat: A Child is Born

Stephen Prat is an Orange County singer, saxophone, and flute player. He can be heard singing in various churches in the County including St James the Great in Newport Beach, St Kilian in Mission Viejo, and St Nicholas in Laguna Niguel. 

This song, “A Child is Born” by Thad Jones, resonates with him as a harmonically rich jazz standard that has been infused with the spirit and message of Christmas by the many artists who have recorded it.

 

Samantha Leone: When Love is Gone–A Muppet Christmas Carol

Samantha Leone is a local gal with a love for all things musical that has been involved in the arts throughout her life. She stepped away from performance for several years and is now rediscovering her love for musical theater as an adult.

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

Joe Buck: Mr. Grinch (accompanied by Stephen Prat)

After a difficult self-confrontation last time at the Cabaret of OC
To find his holiday spirit, Joe decided that he
Should perhaps bake cookies, or decorate a tree.
Or is he already on the naughty list, with no chance of reprieve?
Is he too far gone, with no light to be seen?
Oh no, what’s that, a man dressed in Green??
Here to ruin the holiday for you and for me?
Perhaps he will sing and then we will see
If naughty or nice this Grinch could possibly be
But If you ask me, Kelsey, he’s likely One that is Mean...
