Our Upcoming Production

Cabaret takes place in 1930’s Germany where Berlin is transitioning from a center of underground, avant-garde culture into the beginnings of the rise of the Nazi Party. Into this world enters Clifford Bradshaw, a struggling American writer looking for inspiration for his next novel. On his first night in Berlin, Cliff wanders into the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy nightclub overseen by the strange, omniscient Master of Ceremonies, “the Emcee.” Here, Cliff also meets Sally Bowles, a vivacious, talented cabaret performer, and an utterly lost soul. Sally and Cliff begin a relationship, which blossoms unexpectedly into a dream-like romance. As time passes, however, the situation in Berlin changes from exciting and vital to ominous and violent. With a distinctly Brechtian dose of provocation and a score featuring songs that have become classics of American Musical Theater, Cabaret is a fierce, meaty musical that pushes the boundaries of the form and literally holds “a mirror up to nature.”

Performances will be held at The Ritz Theatre.
