What good is sitting alone in your room?

Come hear the music play…

Willkommen to 1930s Berlin and the hedonistic Kit Kat Club, the center of the city’s nightlife. Through the eyes of the club’s Master of Ceremonies, British performer Sally Bowles, and American writer Cliff Bradshaw, Cabaret takes audiences on an unforgettable journey charting the rise of the Nazi Party and provides a timely and chilling warning of what it means to become complicit in a fascist society.

A Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies Senior Thesis in Acting for Hannah Kurczeski and Choreography for Sadie Pohl
