Patchwork's Annual Cabaret

The Delaware Unleashed series was great fun for cast and audiences alike. All good things must, however, come to an eventual end. Creating the show is a lot of work and we occasionally need to take a break. We considered a "book" musical, but nothing really inspired us. There will be no Summer Fundraiser in 2007. Look for something brand new in 2008.

Having recovered from the rigors of last year's show (and accompanying parties), and against whatever better judgment we're supposed to have, we decided to proceed with "DU5". Within about six hours of the "just after midnight" start of ticket sales, Delaware Unleashed Again was virtually sold out, with a lengthy waiting list. We even had a full house for Dress Rehearsal, and opening weekend audiences have enthusiastically proclaimed it "the best yet".

This is the 5th show in a series of spoofs and parodies about Delaware.   We highlight and make fun of our politics, our local celebrities and the eccentricities of our fair state.  Of course it's all in good fun! The show is performed in our auditorium cabaret style with snacks and drinks served at your seat.

Show Dates: 6/16, 6/17, 6/23, 6/24, 6/30, 7/1, 2006

The cast of Delaware Unleashed 2005 includes:

In 2000, Delaware Unleashed included some old standards and some sure-to-become- favorites such as our salute to the Men in Orange, "Deldot's Back (And You're Gonna Be In Trouble)," "How Are Things In Cape Henlopen?," and "Whatever Ruth Ann Wants (Ruth Ann Gets)."

Delaware Unleashed Again revisited some of these themes in 2001 and unveiled a few more gems from the Diamond State, including our salute to NASCAR, "Racing in Dover (Over and Over),"  "Ruth Ann," and "Country Roads." 

2002's ... The Final Chapter added to the list of memorable songs with a salute to the phenomenal growth of "Happy Harry's" and to lines at the DMV ("The Longest Time"). "State Fair Nights," "Gordon's Pond," and "Suddenly Seaford" add to the Delaware lore.

The 2004 Summer Fundraiser, which never did get an official title, was sold out more than a month before it opened, with a long waiting list. Audience comments indicated that they REALLY enjoyed it. You can see a picture of the cast.

Please check plays and dates for our 2005-2006 Season, so you can decide when to reserve a seat and to select those plays for which you intend to audition. Remember, the choice seats always go to our Patrons and Subscribers.
