Just over one year ago, Kathy Cecotti, beloved theatre teacher and director of Thomas Jefferson High School, lost her five-year battle with brain cancer. Kathy taught at TJHS from 1995-2009 and brought joy to not only the classroom, but also the community as she directed annual theatre productions. She was a remarkable teacher who inspired her students and co-workers daily through her dedication, passion for the arts and her undying optimism.

Cabaret for Kathy benefits the Kathy Cecotti Memorial Scholarship Fund and is produced by Katie Sauter in association with TJ Arts. Cabaret for Kathy features pieces from productions Kathy directed as performed by her former students. In addition to entertainment, the evening also features an auction and food and beverage available for purchase through the Backstage Bar.

The Kathy Cecotti Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior of Thomas Jefferson High School annually. The scholarship is maintained by TJ Arts, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, which promotes the arts within the schools and communities of West Jefferson Hills.

Join us to celebrate the life of Kathy Cecotti and pay tribute to her dedication to her students and the arts. Arrive early to enjoy dinner and drinks available through the Cabaret Backstage Bar. Doors open at 5p.m.
