SYNOPSIS:  
Welcome to the Kit Kat Klub circa 1930’s Berlin, where the decline of the social openness and decadence of the Weimar Republic conflicts with the rise of Nazism. "Innocent" Sally Bowles performs at the club and her unconventional relationship with Cliff - an American novelist looking for inspiration - is paralleled by a more gentle romance between Cliff's landlady, Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz, a German Jew.  Cabaret is an evocative story based on I Am a Camera, which combines both the excitement and the harsh reality of its time and place. Two doomed romances develop in a changing world only to be suddenly enveloped by an evil force that would alter history forever.  (Cabaret explores many adult themes related to sex and Nazi-era politics, and may not be suitable for all audiences, particularly young children.)

The Kit Kat Klub Orchestra is integral in creating the environment and atmosphere of the show. We will be “casting” the Kit Kat Klub Orchestra as well. We are looking for musicians who are interested in performing as characters. Especially women. If you are a musician interested in being a part of the KKK Orchestra, please contact the director as soon as possible. Musicians should not wait for auditions to express their interest, as we will be assembling the Orchestra well in advance of auditions.
