CABARET (Musical, 1998 Version)

Book by Joe Masteroff - Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood

Music by John Kander & lyrics by Fred Ebb

Directed and Choreographed by Austin Eyer & Musical Direction by Vicky Nooe

Based on the 1998 Broadway revival, Cabaret is set in 1920s Berlin where countercultures flourish and go to mix each night at the Kit Kat Club. As politicians fight to rebuild Germany amid economic turmoil, a Master of Ceremonies assures the audience that they will escape all their troubles. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately swept up by the city and English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a humble fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. As the Third Reich rises to power, the life of the cabaret and its patrons is threatened. How long can they ignore what is happening around them? Exploring adult themes of sexual liberation, white supremacy, and a woman’s right to choose—Cabaret is a darker style of musical comedy. The Tony Award-winning score by John Kander and Fred Ebb includes numbers like "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama," and "Two Ladies."

SWEENEY TODD, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Musical)

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Book by Hugh Wheeler.

Based on the 1973 play “Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street” by Christopher Bond.

Directed by Anne Healy & Musical Direction by Vicky Nooe

Conducted by Dr. Clif Evans

Sweeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world.

An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!

THE IDENTITY PROJECT

by Donald C. Shorter Jr.

The identity project is a devised theatre work that asks its participants to answer the question,
“What are you?” The artists will provide their answers through various forms of artistic
expression which include singing, dancing, and spoken word.

The goal of the work isn’t for the artists to have a clearly defined answer to the question but
rather to explore the question itself.

This is a non-ticketed event.
