Slots are limited for our Cabaret Nights and we want to feature as varied and diverse a lineup as possible. As much as we would love to feature everyone who signs up, not all acts are guaranteed to be selected.

Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos.

Today is GivingTuesday! We are grateful for you, and we know that none of what we create could be possible without your support. As an all-volunteer organization, our community volunteers and supporters are working to deliver the live theater that has made Silhouette Stages Howard County’s premiere community theater!

This year, we are focusing our efforts and funds on replacing our aging sound equipment. This includes wireless microphones, transmitters, and directional antennas. Your donation will help us continue to bring quality theatre to Howard County!

On Giving Tuesday:
- All donations are 100% tax deductible.
100% of every donation goes towards our production expenses.
- As an all-volunteer nonprofit, we cannot exist without generous donations. You sustain this theater for all to enjoy.
- $1 to $100 or more- no matter what you are able to give, every bit helps. We appreciate you!

We will be accepting donations through Friday, December 6th. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you back at Silhouette Stages!
