1971 was a banner year for music: Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Marvin Gaye each released seminal albums that have stood the test of time. Young upstarts like Elton John and David Bowie were releasing their earliest work. And supergroups like the Temptations were still active and vital. This first cabaret in our new space salutes to music of 1971 to accompany the play “Eden Prairie 1971”. Featuring an all-star group of local singers, including Mia Gimenez, Anthony Hendricks, Carrie Houchins-Witt, Kristin Behrendt DeGrazia, and many others will bring their considerable talents to interpreting over a dozen songs from this era in our brand-new lobby – fit for cabarets!
