I’m casting select performers for House of Love Cabaret, an intimate, cinematic cabaret experience presented inside a private members club in Chicago.

This is not a showcase, competition, or high-energy stage revue.

I’m specifically seeking performers whose work translates in close proximity and reads with restraint, confidence, and emotional intelligence.

Acts that make sense for this environment include:

• Movement-forward burlesque or cabaret with strong control and pacing
• Jazz, torch song, or sultry vocalists comfortable in intimate rooms
• Slow-burn pole, floorwork, or apparatus adapted for minimal staging
• Dance, physical theater, or hybrid acts with cinematic presence
• Performers experienced in immersive or upscale private environments

Acts that are not a fit:

• Large props, comedy-forward novelty acts, or audience-commanding emceeing
• High-volume, high-tempo stage numbers designed for big theatrical houses
• Material that relies on shock value, punchlines, or spectacle over nuance

Performers should be:

• Fully professional and self-directed
• Comfortable working in refined, private spaces
• Reliable, discreet, and able to hold tone without constant direction

Rates typically range $150–$350 per artist, depending on role and scope.
