Broadway’s (Les Misérables, The Scarlet Pimpernel), and multiple award-winning cabaret artist, St. Louis native Craig Rubano presents Take the Moment, a collection of songs that shine a spotlight on the choices we make during the moments that matter. Craig tells the story of those thresholds of change in his life that have made all the difference, drawing from his experiences as Broadway actor, scholar, pastoral theologian, cabaret artist, minister, and goat owner(!). Directed by celebrated cabaret star Jeff Harnar, and together with Music Director Beth Ertz, Craig taps into music and lyrics by Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Stephen Sondheim, Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Jerry Herman, and more.
St. Louis native Craig Rubano has followed his voice: from a multilingual childhood in South America to world travels with The Whiffenpoofs, from Broadway as Marius Pontmercy in Les Misérables to concert stages across the globe, and from recording studios to the pulpit as a minister. Other theater: The Scarlet Pimpernel, I and II (Broadway original casts); Animal Crackers (Goodspeed). Cabaret shows and recordings: Finishing the Act: Act One Finales from Broadway, Change Partners, and The Night They Invented Champagne; Stepping into Love: Harold Arlen in the Thirties, At Long Last Love: The Music & Lyrics of Cole Porter, and A Birthday Party for Sir Noël Coward. Education: Yale College (A.B.), Columbia University (M.A.), and Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div., Th.M., Ph.D.). Last year, Take the Moment played The Laurie Beechman Theatre to great acclaim, garnering a critics' Bistro Award.
