St. Helena’s historic Cameo Cinema is beginning a series of performing arts events staged outside the theater’s home on Main Street. “The Cameo is expanding the entertainment options within the Napa Valley,” announces Cathy Buck, founder and proprietor. “Cabaret Noir is a celebration of burlesque, which people love because it incorporates old-school glamour and satire,” Buck adds.
