Women's Empowerment invites you to join us at "Cabaret on K", an evening of live music and local art benefiting homeless women and children in Sacramento.

The uniquely talented Rogue Music Project will be joining us again -- and this time, they're bringing you a lineup that's to die for! You can expect cabaret and jazzy favorites, along with a mix of classical and musical theatre pieces, all with a hauntingly beautiful twist. We had such a great turnout last year that our venue was filled to the brim, so this time around we are offering *TWO* separate performance seatings. That means you can catch Rogue Music Project's Carrie Hennessey, Omari Tau, Jen Reason, Sarah Fitch, and CapRadio's own Kevin Doherty, at either 6:00 PM or 7:45 PM that night. 

Regardless of what performance seating you choose, the event will also feature an art gallery that will remain open throughout the night. We'll be showcasing amazing artwork from a few of our region's talented creatives. And 50% or more of all proceeds from art sold that night will go directly back to Women's Empowerment!

Complimentary desserts will be offered, and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the night. And don't forget -- every dollar raised by this event helps transform the lives of homeless women and children through education, employment, and empowerment.
