About the Speakers
Cabaret performer Rian Keating’s trajectory had been a variation on the “local boy makes good” cliche with unpredictable twists and turns. He moved to New York the day after graduating from small New England high school and never looked back. Rian created the celebrity talk show, Spotlight! For Manhattan Cable and spent much his early career interviewing such luminaries as Gwen Verdon, Julie Wilson, Cleavon Little, Bebe Neuwith and Kathy Bates, among others.
A staple on the cabaret circuit, over the past forty years Rian has performed in most of the major New York cabaret rooms and has been hailed as a “master storyteller” for his autobiographical shows, In This Traveling Heart and Time Stamps: life fragments in story and song, for which he received the 2022 MAC Award for Special Production. Long a Brel afficienado, he was the 2023 MAC Award recipient for Male Vocalist for Rian Keating sings Jacques Brel.
