DIVA by DIVA A Celebration of Women!

Join us for a DIVA-licious good time ... surprises, prizes & FUN!

Described as “Eclectic! Exciting! Entertaining!”, DIVA by DIVA: A Celebration of Women! is Western New York's longest running theatrical production.
Mary Kate O'Connell, Artistic/Executive Director of O'Connell & Company, created this fast-paced cabaret style production filled with songs, readings, poetry, humor & quotes by, for, & about women. “DIVA by DIVA...” was originally scheduled to run for two weeks at O'Connell's Cabaret in the Square Theatre & now, 7 years later, audiences still flock to share in the “DIVA experience.”  The show is "gender specific" but not "gender exclusive" ... men enjoy it too!!

The ever-changing “DIVA by DIVA...” cast is drawn from all aspects of the community ... performing arts, the business & corporate arenas, educational, political as well as the private & philanthropic sector - making this an extraordinary network of remarkable women. At any given performance the cast of “DIVA by DIVA...” might include a politician, a singer, a high school music teacher, an actress, the cultural affairs director of an international bank, a cancer survivor ... a sister, a daughter, a mother, a friend. All of these women join together, giving their voice and talent to, as O'Connell puts it, “redefining the DIVA ... it's a happening, really. ”

Over the years, more than 200 women have been a part of the “DIVA by DIVA …” cast. The show has performed throughout Upstate New York as well as Southern Ontario, Pennsylvania & New York City. Perfect as a fund raising tool, “DIVA by DIVA …” performances have helped raise a great deal of money for women's & children's charities in the WNY community. No two shows have ever had exactly the same cast or the same script. Performers arrive an hour before the show, dressed in “DIVA” black and sparkly jewelry, they gather, chatter, get their scripts, a few directors notes & on with the show.

DIVA by DIVA A Celebration of Women! is onstage at The Cabaret in the Square Theatre in Snyder, NY, every Wednesday at 7:30pm, running indefinitely.
