2011 Reema Semaha Remembrance Cabaret

The annual Remembrance Cabaret for Virginia Tech victim, Reema Samaha, will be held on Saturday, May 28th (Memorial Day Weekend).

Reema was a 2006 graduate of Westfield and had numerous talents, including dancing, and acting. She had a natural comedic spirit that brought smiles to everyone she met.

The Cabaret is a collaborative effort that reflects Reema’s love of the arts, community, and family.  The performances feature a wide spectrum of artists, including singers, dancers, bands, and actors from around the community.  While some of the artists knew Reema personally, even those who did not are connected through their respect and admiration of a beautiful life that was tragically cut short.
