​
A decadent & timely musical for adults 

​*The March 23rd performance will be ASL Interpreted. For best view seats of the interpreters, call the Box Office at 394-1786.

Set in the seedy Kit Kat Club, this musical favorite explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous world of 1920's Berlin as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cabaret features memorable songs and follows eccentric characters such as the garish Emcee, the charismatic singer Sally Bowles, the disillusioned landlady Fraulein Schneider and the mild-mannered fruit seller she loves, as they navigate a world on the brink of change.
​​
*This production contains mild language and adult situations.
