Welcome Letters

Dear Valued Patrons,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Downtown Cabaret Theatre (DCT). A special place
where adults, children, friends, and family come together to experience not only first-rate
entertainment but a unique way to spend time together BYOB Cabaret Style!
For over 40 years DCT has entertained audiences from Bridgeport and the surrounding
communities with affordable musicals, plays, and concerts. Open 52 weeks a year; we offer an
average of 6 shows per week with over 300 shows a year to choose from. Without our valued
audience, we would not have enjoyed this level of success. Thank you for being such loyal and
supportive patrons.
Help us become Fairfield County’s worst kept secret! Word of mouth is the key to keep DCT
vibrant and relative. Open your favorite social app or pick up the phone to let your friends and
family know about the Downtown Cabaret Theatre and our money-saving subscriptions!
On behalf of myself and the very hardworking and dedicated staff, production and creative
teams at DCT thank you for your loyal support.

Hugh Hallinan (Executive Producer)

Dear Valued Patrons,

Welcome to the Downtown Cabaret Main Stage Theatre’s production of Priscilla, Queen of the
Desert, an infectiously fun disco/drag queen show with a heart of glitter, based on the hit
international 1998 film. It is an honor for us to be one of the first CT theatre companies to produce
this show and bring this production here to you in the intimate Downtown Cabaret Theatre.

Special thanks to DCT Executive Producer, Hugh Hallinan, and the creative team on Prisilla...
This season we are also giving special mention to company member Christy McIntosh-Newsom,
the director of this show, as well as our recent productions of The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
Goldilocks, Hairspray, Fancy Nancy, Little Red Riding Hoods, and In the Heights. Christy was one of
the founding members of Bridgeport Theatre Company and has served in a myriad of roles for the
company these past seven years. She has been an essential influence that led to the successful
merge/formation of Downtown Cabaret Theatre Main Stage Theatre two seasons ago. It is our
pleasure to have recently bestowed Christy with what we feel is the apt title of Associate Artistic
Director of Main Stage Theatre.

We hope to see you at more of our musicals or plays, children’s theatre performances, and
concerts here at the wonderful and unique Downtown Cabaret Theatre.

Eli Newsom (Producing Artistic Director)
