Sunday Cabaret Series
The Sunday Cabaret Series is proud to be in its 15th season at the Arthur Newman Theatre in Palm Desert. The series began in 2010 when the Joslyn Center invited the legendary Les Michaels to move his successful cabaret shows to their theater. Les produced hundreds of spectacular shows over the years before passing away much too soon in 2022. Today, Frankie Mamone is honored to continue Les' legacy of showcasing the most popular and talented performers of the Coachella Valley for your entertainment.
