The one-night only cabaret is February 14, 2012 at 7:30pm at the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, 4450 N. Clark Street.

Love songs including Al Green's "Love and Happiness," Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness" and Etta James' "At Last" will fill the Black Ensemble Theater's romantic second floor, which will be turned into "The Love Club" with a dynamic four-piece band, free-flowing champagne and sweets for all the sweethearts in the house. The evening will include fabulous music, beautiful dance and Ms. Dawn as the comedic host for the evening. Lovers will fall in love all over again once they have experienced this truly intoxicating evening.

"There's nothing more fitting than to spend Valentine's Day celebrating some of the best love songs of all time. Black Ensemble's new building will set the scene with our live, four-piece band and performers for a memorable and romantic evening," says Jackie Taylor.
