“Come to the Cabaret - where life is beautiful, the girls are beautiful, even the orchestra is beautiful…” and a society dances on the brink of collapse. Inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s “Berlin Stories,” Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. 

Daring, provocative and exuberantly entertaining, Cabaret probes the seductive life of a Bohemian Berlin dancing in the shadow of creeping authoritarianism and asks the question, “What would you do?”

Run time: Approximately 2 hours and 45 minute with one intermission. Recommended age 13+

Content Warning: Cabaret deals frankly with sensitive themes, including anti-Semitism, Nazi-ism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, abortion and sexual content. This production includes depiction of physical violence, smoking, alcohol and historically contextualized images of hate.

Sensory Warning: This performance features a live band, flashing lights, loud and sudden noises
