FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Together: Dave and Dan Duet, a Gay-Themed Holiday Cabaret with Audience Sing-along

The starring singers, David Stephens and Daniel Johnson, will be performing on Thursday, December 18th, 2025, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 611 Randolph St., Oak Park, IL. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to show.

The show starts at 7:00 pm. Admission is free, but donations for local artists will be graciously accepted.

Together is a Cabaret concert for our turbulent political times, about two entertainers meeting at the 1996 Gay Pride Festival in NYC, and what happens next in their long-term, long-distance relationship, leading to their eventual life together in the Oak Park area. These seasoned cabaret performers will amuse and musically transport the audience with stories about their lives as out Gay men in an?uncommon interracial relationship. The show will include songs by Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, Dave Frishberg, Rick Ashley and many more from Stage, Screen and TV.

Both David and Daniel are members of Chicago Cabaret Professionals, an advocacy group for the promotion of the art of Cabaret, as well as participants in the Chicago-based arts collective

Working In Concert, in which David served as co-creator and former Managing Director of Black Voices in Cabaret. Their previous solo shows include Soulful Seventies Sounds (David) and Wilde and Woolley (Daniel). They have also produced, directed and performed in Chicago-based musical shows over the past decade, and are long-time members of the Oak Park Area Lesbian and Gay Association (OPALGA+).

Collaborative accompanist for the program will be the celebrated and in-demand pianist/musical director/vocalist, Chicago-based Mark Burnell. Mark is featured in numerous jazz and gospel concerts around the area. We are pleased to have him join us for this performance.
