CLASS IS SOLD OUT!


Add a little extra sparkle to your night at The Cottage with a preshow experience that’s equal parts classy and a little bit scandalous.


Secrets, Scandal & Stirring with Philip Bradly and Kay Tibbs is a lively, hands-on martini masterclass designed to get you in the perfect mood for an evening of sharp wit and delightful mischief onstage.

Whether you like your cocktail crisp and classic or bold and unexpected, you’ll learn the essentials behind four martini styles:

  • Vodka martinis (clean, smooth, and effortlessly modern)
  • Gin martinis (bright, botanical, and timeless)
  • Flavored martinis (fun twists with a little flair)
  • Fruit martinis (fresh, festive, and irresistibly sippable)

Philip and Kay will share tips, tricks, and insider know-how—how to pick your base spirit, the difference between shaken vs. stirred, simple ways to elevate your garnish game, and how to customize a martini to your taste without overthinking it.


And yes—this is the best part: you’ll get to sample your choice of two different martinis during the class.
