Here are a few photos taken on January 18, 2026 during Seth Hampton's Sunday Cabaret Series show, "Prophet Indigo," a theatrical cabaret experience featuring the music of the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Ann Saliers. Seth was accompanied on piano by Matthew Howes and on acoustic 12 string guitar by Patrick Piper. The stage was decorated by Seth and a few of his friends, and the show was presented sermon style. Seth is a trained professional singer with impeccable vocal mastery and a pleasant personality. Congratulations to Seth and his musicians for a beautiful musical afternoon!

Bunny Fisher celebrates the joy and liberation that accompanies increasing age. The unleashed confidence that directs what comes next. Living your best life, fulfilling your dreams and finding love at any age. Bunny takes you on a musical journey of liberation, loss, reality and love, where ANYTHING GOES! She sings not only Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart, Mercer and Arlen, but also songs from different genres, including “novelty”, musical theater and pop, all of which tell the story of what love in the “3rdAct” can be. Accompanied by famed arranger, composer and pianist, Christopher Marlowe, the two present an evening of humor and laughter as heard in, “Billions of Beautiful Boys” alongside deeply emotional ballads such as “Time After Time.” A little naughty! A little Nice! A lot of Fun!

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.

Frankie Mamone has been producing shows and entertaining audiences his entire life. He started as a child actor in Ohio and later performed in Los Angeles alongside great stars such as Eddie Albert, Kaye Ballard, Connie Stevens, Carol Channing -- the list goes on and on! Today, Frankie resides in the Coachella Valley where he is known as "The Italian Crooner," specializing in tribute shows to Jerry Vale, Tony Bennett and other beloved vocalists.
