Sunday Cabaret Series

Dear Friends,

Big news! We’re thrilled to share that the Sunday Cabaret Series is moving to the Palm Springs Cultural Center, beginning with our season opener on October 4, 2026, starring the fabulous Angie Delaire.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Joslyn Center and the beloved Arthur Newman Theatre for so many unforgettable years. That stage helped us grow and celebrate the incredible talent of the Coachella Valley. Also, thank you Marcia Harp for being our charming host and co-producer during our last two seasons.

Now, as the series continues to evolve, we’re ready for a new home—one that gives us room to welcome more guests, enhance production quality, and connect with even more Palm Springs audiences, all while keeping the intimate cabaret magic you love.

We’re also excited to welcome Angie Delaire and Bill Spera to our production team! Their artistry and experience will help take the series to new heights.

And to our loyal audience—some of you have been with us since the early days at Frankie’s Italian Bakery and Supper Club back in 2012—thank you for the memories and for being the soul of this journey.

Stay tuned for updates at SundayCabaretSeries.com and follow us on Facebook at Frankie’s Old World Biscotti for summer announcements. See you in October!

With love and gratitude,
Frankie & Luca
