Those choosing to be in the virtual audience are free to access the recording anytime between August 7th and August 14th. A link to watch the show will be available on the NMP website, Facebook, and Instagram. The link will also be sent to everyone on the New Minowa Players email list. Anyone wishing to join the email list is invited to do so by emailing newminowaplayers@gmail.com.

The Young People's Production is New Minowa Players' annual offering featuring youth ranging in age from those entering middle school to those graduating college. Directors Indigo Fish and Hallie Johnson, along with musical director Sam Wilson, had hoped to be directing "Little Shop of Horrors," but because of precautions surrounding COVID-19, the online performance will replace the previously planned staged show, which is now planned for August 2021.

"A Quarantine Cabaret" will be a series of musical numbers performed concert style. Songs are from a variety of musical theater shows. All rehearsals and the performances are online. Those performing include Eliana Brodbeck, Davis Coppola, Indigo Fish, Erik Johnson, Hallie Johnson, Leila Johnson, Greta Jones, Alex Kane, Dylan Muhlbauer, Sarah Mumford, Kaj Spencer-Berg, Abby Trewin, and Sam Wilson.

"A Quarantine Cabaret" is sponsored by A&J Petersburg Agency, Bluff Country Bernedoodles, Decorah Bank and Trust, Family Table Restaurant, Gallery of Tops, Iroc Web Design Services, Pizza Ranch, Rick and Sheryl Scheffert, Sogo Snacks, JoAn Stevenson and Steven Nelson.
