Dear Cabaret Performers and friends,

The new Gateway Lounge at Copernicus Center will be launching with a schedule of Latin, Jazz, Blues and Cabaret starting in July! Mike Jeffers is the GM of the Copernicus Center, President of Chicago Jazz Magazine, and he was generous enough to open the Gateway Lounge for one of our Cabaret Week shows. The stage, sound system, and piano sounded amazing in this intimate space that Claudia Hommel predicts will be "a diamond for cabaret in Chicago."

To submit your cabaret show for their summer and fall series, send your press kit (including video clip) to Alexandra at arcopernicus@gmail.com. Located just off the highway at Lawrence, there is a parking lot, and free street parking on Lawrence Avenue.

The Gateway Lounge and the 1800-seat Gateway Theater are part of the non-for-profit Copernicus Foundation which has been around since 1930. You can read about it's history here: https://copernicuscenter.org/theater-history/

Mike Jeffers and Anne Burnell will be interviewed on WCPT 820am Around the Town with Al Bresloff Sunday 1:30pm https://heartlandsignal.com/wcpt820/
 
Event Address Venue: Gateway Lounge at Copernicus Center
Street Address: 5216 W Lawrence Ave
