Songs I'll Never Sing, Roles I'll Never Play, Collingswood Community Center, 30 W. Collings Ave., Collingswood

It's exciting to see others acheive their dreams. At 8 p.m. this Friday, enjoy a cabaret featuring members of Collingswood Community Theatre, as they share something very special with you. They'll each live their dream, presenting selections from large-scale shows—productions which will probably never be staged by the company—such as Cats, Victor-Victoria, City of Angels, Finnian’s Rainbow, Wicked, Chorus Line, Chess, My Fair Lady, Cabaret and Anything Goes. Performers include Abbe and Stef Bucholski, Faith Charlton, Bridget Coyle, CJ Kish, Meg Maley, Tom Matousch, Mike Rauch, Amy Henderson Riley, Scott Mandel, Kate Scharff, Sydney Simone, Mike and Marcy Smith, Kim Townsend and Rachel Witte. Accompanying the performers are Zachary Wiseley, Eric Michaels, and Jay and Evan Klein. Don't miss this show—it's a one-night-only affair that typically sells out quickly! Tickets are $20 per person.
