CabaretEKU Musical Theater is excited to invite you to the Kit Kat Club! Cabaret takes place during the fall of Weimar Germany just as Nazism begins to rear its ugly head. The episodic plot, centered around of a group of night club performers, artists, smugglers, sex workers, and assorted riff raff, is about the relationship between the flighty and uninhibited performer Sally Bowles and the listless ex-pat American writer Cliff Bradshaw, a stand in for Christopher Isherwood, whose novel Berlin Stories the show is based on. Swinging back and forth between production numbers in the Kit Kat Klub and the flat that Sally and Cliff share, the show is a sexy, seductive, satirical, and heart-breaking warning against the apathy of hedonism in the face of fascism.
