“Where Broadway meets Namaste!”
Karma Kabaret is an entertainment written with the intention of putting goodness into the world: by making people laugh — a lot — and think a lot and discover a lot and feel a lot and laugh — a lot!
Created and performed by M Zavidow, Karma Kabaret is the creative celebration of a life of exploring through 39+ years as a corporate communicator, stage and cabaret performer, songwriter, recording artist, social worker, stand-up experimenter, Yoga Teacher, marathoner, traveler and curious person trying to figure out this life!
“Displaying a youthful energy, MZ takes us along on her spiritual journey; we laugh all the way at her clever take on popular Broadway melodies, her struggles to master elusive Eastern practices, and the teachers and others who have illuminated her path. Her humor, however, skillfully delivers a clear message: kindness, acceptance, connection and joy are all.” ~ Dana K., audience member
It’s kind of like Robin Williams meets Streisand meets TED Talks meets Einstein meets Buddha meets Broadway meets Zavidow!
“One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.” ~ Albert Einstein
Part of the Barnstormer series, held in the Lucille Lortel White Barn Center. General admission; Seating unreserved.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
An incredible journey of the spirit, performed to the music you love with a new age twist that will keep you laughing all night"
Andrew C.Zavidow took me on a soul-searching journey that is both personal and illuminating … a journey of life’s discoveries! At all times I remained engaged as I found many things that I could relate to — astronomy, physics, quantum mechanics, ancient civilizations, philosophy, and many more."
Makoto S.Zavidow’s performance was authentic, intelligent, insightful, poignant, witty and fun. She gave deeply of herself, sharing her doubts, struggles and vulnerabilities in a way that I was drawn in and moved and as a consequence felt myself relating my own experience to hers. A tour de force!"
Alex D.KARMA KABARET — the name says it all! Throughout the performance I experienced joy, sadness and wisdom — all interwoven with this delightful mix of self-deprecation, wit and humor. I remembered, I learned, I was challenged and inspired at the same moments."
Jerry K.It was truly amazing. I was instantly engaged — the content and delivery were beyond description — and I’ve been to many Broadway shows. This performance far surpasses anything I’ve seen on stage."
