DC Theatre Scene . Washington’s liveliest theatre web site

We attended The African Continuum Theatre’s first ever cabaret this past Saturday the 12th of May.  The stage consisted of a single upright piano and a few tables surrounding the stage. A mural depicting a colorful nightclub was hung behind the stage.  There was an full house for our 7:30 show  which was followed at 10PM by a late show.

The lineup consisted  of (in order of performance)

Erika Rose

Maurice Clemons

Bev Cosham

Stephawn Stephens

Bina Malhotra

Clif Walker

and the incredible Eleasha Gamble.

All of the performers performed admirably, Ms Cosham was quite special and provided some amusing between song banter,  The evening closed with Clif Walker, who has a soaring voice and great stage presence and, last but not least, Ms Gamble. I can only say that if you have not had the pleasure of hearing this young lady’s voice you have yet to know what singing is truly about. Eleasha is a star waiting to explode. American Idol?  She was alive and singing at Atlas Saturday night.
