Cabaret
Date: November 12-14th, 2026 @ 7:30 PM; a 2:00 PM matinee on November 15th
Director: Jacob McGlaun
Description: Set in 1930s Berlin as the shadow of the Nazi regime begins to fall, Cabaret invites audiences inside the Kit Kat Klub—a place where anything goes and the outside world can be forgotten, if only for a moment. Through the eyes of American writer Cliff Bradshaw and the enigmatic performer Sally Bowles, the story unfolds with dazzling musical numbers, dark humor, and a growing sense of unease. As political tensions rise beyond the club’s walls, Cabaret explores the fragility of freedom and the cost of looking the other way.
Rated: R
Tickets: $14, $20, $23
