Director's Note

It's been nearly thirty years since Cabaret first burst on the musical scene, taking theater audiences by storm.  Unlike many shows prior, Cabaret was fresh, controversial, raw, and exciting.  It pushed what was acceptable on stage, and forced its audiences to think and come to terms with one of the most ugly periods of world history.

Cabaret is based on the semi-biographical books I am a Camera and Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood.  John Kander and Fred Ebb took the themes presented in his stories and wove them into something dark and moving with their probing lyrics and hones dialogue.

Many different themes are at play in Cabaret - the real world and the make believe; social injustice; homosexuality; abortion; and the holocaust.  The Emcee serves as the thread that intertwines them all, serving both as narrator and social commentator.

Tonight we present a version of Cabaret combining the original stage play, the award-winning movie, and the current Broadway revival.  I hope you enjoy what you see.
