Cabaret...

Past Production - May 2009
Book by Joe Masteroff
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Music by John Kander

Directed by Robert Brian Wood
Musical Direction by Kathryn McLain
Choreography by Betsy Harris
Featuring guest artist Barbara Stube-Mercado as Sally Bowles

Experience the story of survival and freedom. Cabaret marches boldly against the cruel faces of war and speaks to the sacrifice of the human soul. The Kit Kat Club is a raunchy, seedy underground where Sally Bowles and the Emcee perform scathing satire that puts their lives at risk as the suspicion of the Third Reich penetrates the safety of their charming little dive.

(Note For Parents - contains mature themes.  We have assigned a "PG-13" rating to this production; minors under the age of 13 must be accompanied by their parent or guardian.)
