Love and War with Jessie Cassin and Robin Kelly

Cabaret singer Jessie Cassin and award-winning musical director Robin Kelly present "Love and War," a curated collection of both lesser-known and beloved pieces from the Great American Songbook, spanning the interwar period of 1918-1939.

The show pays homage to iconic composers of the time such as Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, and Cole Porter, where the sounds of classical, jazz, and musical theatre seamlessly combine.

With a side of comedy, the great themes of Love and War are accompanied by engaging stories that deep dive into music history and the personal journeys of the composers. Set against the backdrop of the historic Pah Homestead, this cabaret with character is sure to captivate you.
