Schade unfolds By Lisa Noro On Thursday evening, January 13,1983, The Indepen dent Eye, a nationally known professional theatre, presented, LE CABARET DE CAMILLE, one woman’s look into her fan tasies co-sponsored by the Capitol Campus Cultural Events series and The Penn- sylvania Council of the Arts. Eye veteran, Camilla Schade, took the autidorium’s audience (a small crowd of 65) on an im aginary journey into her world as she became the star, suppor ting cast, band, stage crew and critic of her own fantasy cabaret.
