Set in a tumultuous post-World War I Berlin, during the rise of the Nazi Party, Cabaret tells the story of American writer Clifford "Cliff" Bradshaw who becomes romantically involved with cabaret performer Sally Bowles, whom he meets at the Kit Kat Club. As Nazi occupation in Germany mounts, Cliff's and Sally's relationship is similarly brought to bear in a series of increasingly dire and violent events.
Generous support for this production is provided by the Robert and Lorna Cohen Endowment for Excellence in Drama, Theatre Guild, and Claire Trevor Society.
