Come see a daring, provocative and exuberantly entertaining production of Cabaret that explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s “Berlin Stories,” Cabaret probes the seductive life of a Bohemian Berlin dancing in the shadow of creeping authoritarianism and asks the question, “What would you do?” Filled with iconic songs and dances, this production encapsulates social, cultural and political issues that we still face today. “Come to the Cabaret – where life is beautiful, the girls are beautiful, even the orchestra is beautiful…”
