USM Department of Theatre Presents

CABARET

This event has passed.

The April 11th show is part of a special fundraiser for the USM Department of Theatre. Remaining tickets include the performance and intermission dessert bar. They do not include the pre-show event, which is sold out.

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates. Daring, provocative, and exuberantly entertaining, Cabaret explores essential and timely themes as the audience watches the joyful and beautiful world of Bohemian Berlin slowly yield to the emerging Third Reich.

Based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood
Book by Joe Masteroff, Music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Danny Hutchins
Musical Direction by Edward Reichert
