Germano Fabiani, the Germano in Germano's of Little Italy, says his first cabaret was a success and he's planning them weekly. The next is this Thursday evening.

"The Cabaret at GERMANO'S primary purpose is to promote and support the arts in Baltimore by offering local, regional and emerging artists a casual and intimate venue in which they can interact with their audiences. We also welcome to Baltimore performers from outside our area who desire to contribute to our thriving arts community. 
"GERMANO’S upstairs dining room is arranged with tables and chairs facing an open performance space.  Guests enjoy informal, engaging interaction with singers, actors and musicians either over drinks or along with GERMANO’S well-known Tuscan food specialties.
"The Cabaret Room opens on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. for pre-show dining.  The full menu and specials are available in the Cabaret Room.  There is a $10 cover for Cabaret performances and a $15 food or drink minimum.  Shows begin each Thursday at 7:30 pm.   Seating is limited and early reservations are encouraged.
"On May 8, 2008, performing artist Dana Nichole Scott will be featured.  Also appearing is Branda Lock.  For reservations and information about the upcoming line-up of performers, please visit our website at www.germanostrattoria.com or call GERMANO’S at (410) 752-4515 or e-mail us at cabaret@germanostrattoria.com.  Join us!"
