The Beautiful Minds Kickoff Cabaret creates a bridge between mental health and the arts with a jam-packed program of Celebrity Guests who didn’t allow struggles with their mental health condition to define them. Entertainers such as Judy Garland, Lady Gaga, Marvin Gaye, and Whitney Houston (portrayed by the best local talent Des Moines has to offer!) will take the stage at xBk Live for a one-of-a-kind blockbuster show emceed by local performing legends Steve Berry and Gina Gedler.
Here are reviews from attendees from last year’s inaugural show:
“What a fabulous event it was. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but any expectations I had were exceeded by leaps and bounds. The talent was remarkable…kudos to the those that performed and to the organizers. What a great way to support mental health. Thank you, NAMI!”.
“I heard so much about Beautiful Minds over the years and always wanted to support it. For me, the Kick-Off Cabaret was the perfect way to do that. It was great fun, with fantastic entertainers and wonderful messaging. Thank you so much for the creative work to pull this off. I am looking forward to the next one!”
