ITAC to present ‘Lynne Rothrock’s Christmas Cabaret’ this weekend

Lynne Rothrock of Cedar Rapids returns to Amana with her band and guest artists to present a 10th Anniversary Christmas Cabaret. Four performances are scheduled in Amana at the Iowa Theatre Artists Company from Friday through Sunday.

Rothrock’s special holiday show first appeared on stage at ITAC in 2011 and was met with a nearly sold-out run. As in past years, her Cabaret also will be presented at the ARA Gallery in Cedar Rapids the weekend of Dec. 13 through 16.

Blending heartwarming holiday music with humorous sketches and songs, Lynne Rothrock’s Christmas Cabaret has successfully staged nine years of entertainment at various venues throughout eastern Iowa. This year’s 10th anniversary show will feature guest artists, including Meg Merckens of South Amana and Amy Stoner of Cedar Rapids, joined by band members Ron DeWitte of Cedar Rapids, Gerard Estella of Cedar Rapids, Greg Kanz of Cedar Rapids and Dave Ollinger of Waterford, Wis.

At ITAC, tickets cost $25, and a group rate is available for parties of 10 or more. Seating is reserved. Call the ITAC box office at (319) 622-3222 for more information and reservations. The four performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

ITAC has celebrated the holiday season with four events over four weekends. The Great Bluegrass Herons Acoustic Christmas Concert from Dec. 14 to 16 will finish up the holiday event schedule. For more information about ITAC and upcoming performances, visit www.iowatheatreartist.org.
