“We are really excited about the level of talent we were able to attract from throughout the Indianapolis metro area.  There is clearly a strong interest by area artists in performing in Cabarets and we are very happy to be able to provide them the opportunity,” says CCP president Michael T. Long.  “This is the real deal and we encourage the public to come out to Clay Terrace to support these very talented acts.”
