With their captivating cabaret acts, AMTC Cabaristas brings a touch of magic and elegance to the local community.
Excitement is building as AMTC prepares for their next production, and they have chosen a true crowd-pleaser: “Priscilla Queen of The Desert.” This iconic musical promises to dazzle audiences with its vibrant costumes, energetic choreography, and beloved songs. If you’re interested in getting involved with this spectacular show, AMTC invites you to their introduction evening on Tuesday, June 13th at 7:30 PM.
