Cabaret

Written by Joe Masteroff
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Music by John Kander
Directed by Matt Hawkins

Presented by The Hypocrites

April 15, 2010 — May 23, 2010
Storefront Theater
$25; $15 for seniors and students; $15 for previews (4/15 & 4/16)

Running Time: 2.5 hours (including two intermissions)

Audience Advisories: This production is intended for mature audiences, and will contain gunshots, drug use, sexual content and offensive language. There will be a live band.

Known for sexy, witty, and politically-charged numbers, Cabaret is also a backdrop for one of the darkest moments in world history. Set in Weimar Berlin just prior to Nazi rule, the play highlights the impact of global conflicts on the lives of everyday people. The Hypocrites, with guest director Matt Hawkins, circumvent the sometimes indulgent tradition of musicals, staging a more intimate production and depicting people in crisis struggling with the moments that define them.
