The core programming at Patrick’s Cabaret consists of our open call cabarets,
each show generally consisting of six acts with a mix of experience levels and artistic disciplines. Each cabaret is carefully curated to offer a diverse range of performances,
while at the same time striving to maintain accessibility for the artists we target with
our outreach. We put it all on stage – video, dance, performance art, comedy,
theater, spoken word – you name it, it happens here!

Sylvia Schourek grew up dancing in the north woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She went on to earn her BA in Dance and Art from Western Michigan University in 2007, where she had the opportunity to work with such artists as Robert Battle, Diane McIntyre, and Mitzi Adams, as well as choreographing for student shows and her own Honor’s Thesis presentation. After spending a year as the Artistic Director of her hometown studio, she relocated to the Twin Cities to expand her dance horizons. Since moving to Minneapolis one year ago, she has been teaching at Inspiration Dance Academy, as well as studying at Zenon Dance School and Breaking Boundaries Dance Company and Training Center.
Robert Baril is a stand up comedian who hails from Warroad, MN. He has been performing comedy for about one year in various venues around the Twin Cities. In addition to Louie Anderson and Kyle Cease’s stand up boot camp, he opened for Louie Anderson at The Excalibur in Las Vegas this past July. His performance background is predominantly in theater, with notable roles in Bemidji State University productions including: “Khlestakov from the Inspector General”, “Sir Andew in 12th Night”, and “Socrates in No More Peace”. He’s also studied improv at the Brave New Workshop located in Uptown Minneapolis.
Bob Ronson first started performing his quirky, upbeat monologues about dreams, drinking, and life on the dark side at Patrick’s Cabaret back in 2000. Bob has appeared at the Cabaret a number of times since then. Bob has also performed solo Fringe shows 4 years in a row, while appearing numerous times at Balls Cabaret and other venues around Minneapolis. Bob’s first appearance at the Cabaret was back in September 2000, his last appearance was in September 2005, and now in September 2010 Bob is hoping for a come back!
alannaAlanna Morris is a graduate of Juilliard School and a company member of TU Dance. She began dancing in the basement of her apartment building in Brooklyn, NY and continued training in modern, jazz, and ballet at Creative Outlet Dance Theater, Phillipa Schuyler Middle School, and La Guardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts. She has studied on scholarship at Ballet Hispanico, The Ailey School, Joffrey Ballet and Springboard Montreal, and danced the works of noted choreographers. In 2003 she was awarded a Level One A.R.T.S. award in modern dance from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts (N.F.A.A.) and is a Presidential Scholar in the Arts Semifinalist. When she is not performing with TU Dance, Alanna is collaborating with local artists and pursuing her passion for youth and community development, building creative artistic workshops. She is also working on program that uses the creative arts, imagination and play to provide experiences for youth that facilitate learning. The Collective is a movement of youth empowered with the creative tools to express themselves.
Comprising of twenty-somethings John Schwarzkopf and Steven Peters, The Nerk Twins are a self contained comedic duo specializing in multimedia sketch and stand up style humor. With John’s wit as dry as Kate Gosselin’s checking account and Steven’s loveable charm and wacky acting, or “wacting,” they are sure to please audiences of all shapes and sizes.
At a tender age, Vas Littlecrow began to communicate her outlandish perception of reality via funny drawings and the movements of her body. As an adult, her passion for exploring the bizarre and the beautiful with every tool available continues to burn with searing intensity. Vas’s experiments with the VAS Littlecrow arts group, combine crude humor, erudite sensibilities, grotesque visions and natural elegance, to tackle a myriad of controversial subjects in an accessible manner. She sings, she dances, she writes, she draws, she models and she lives to entertain and make people think without realizing that they are doing so.
