A Note From Briana
Journey with me through my life in song. Growing up, I was surrounded with music and dancing. My siblings and I would watch and dance along to any movie with music for as long as my parents would allow. My parents, both performers at some point in their lives, made sure to play all kinds of music in the home from gospel to classical arias. This music has had a huge influence on my vocal style and my love for performance. I want to share with you the many artist and songs that have had the biggest impact on my life from a little girl at the age of four to now. I will also bring along some family and friends that I love singing with to join me on stage. I look forward to reliving some of my pivotal core memories with all of you!

Meet Briana
Briana VanVleet is a lover of laughter and smiles and looks forward in continuing to put smiles on people's faces in her first cabaret. She grew up in Southern Maryland where she was homeschooled alongside her 2 siblings by their mother who filled the home with music, dancing, and learning. She made her way to Lancaster, PA in 2016 where she attended the Sight and Sound Conservatory. After graduating, she decided to make the Lancaster area home and began to pursue a career in performing. She has had the privilege to perform in many Servant Stage productions starting with the Broadway musical The Civil War (2017) to I’ll Fly Away (2024). Some of her favorite performed productions include Sight and Sound's Samson (Ensemble) , Servant Stage's production of the Broadway musical The Civil War (Ensemble), Servant Stage’s Rock Around the Clock (Featured Performer), Ragtime (Sarah’s Friend), and Magic and Wonder Dinner Theatre’s Jukebox Jive (Greaser). She is so thankful to all of her family and friends who have supported her on this journey. She hopes you enjoy watching the show as much as she will enjoy performing it!
