Club 3160 on Clark Street presented "Beauty and the Bus" over the weekend to raise money for Season of Concern, a fundraising organization to support the fight against AIDS in the theatre community.

Cast members of Broadway in Chicago's Beauty & the Beast belted out the show tunes in a cabaret style setting for a cause that raised hundreds of dollars. Hosted by the group's Anthony Fett, the cast took turns showing their talents and having fun while raising money for a good cause.The night appropriately ended with a singalong version of "Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent.
