A sneak peek at the fifth show of the Hunger Artists Theatre Company's 2008 season, a new look at the Tony Award-winning Kander & Ebb musical "Cabaret".
It's New Year's Eve, 1929. An American writer makes his first trip to Germany and finds himself in a local hot spot known as the Kit Kat Klub. As he begins an affair with the club's star performer, an Englishwoman by the name of Sally Bowles, it seems that life is truly a cabaret. But as Germany's economic situation worsens, and the Nazi Party begins to rise in power, the problems surrounding them become harder to ignore. Gable will be presenting "Cabaret" as a show-within-a-show. When the audience walks into the theatre, they will be transported into the Kit Kat Klub, circa 1933, to attend the final performance of the theatre's production of "Cabaret" before the theater closes the next day. Each performer in the show will double as a Kit Kat Klub dancer, and the show's theatricality will be embraced, with dressing room and prop table in audience's view, and the entire set being suggested with tables and chairs. The show features Paul Anderson, Natalie Brooks, Candice Clasby, Sherry Domerego, Anthony Galleran, Lauren Kushin, Laura Landry, Amanda Marzo, Topher Mauerhan, Brynne McManimie, Max Orbita and Dennis Tong.
"Cabaret" runs from July 25th through August 31st. Visit www.hungerartists.com for more info on "Cabaret" and the rest of the Hunger Artists Theatre Company's 12th season.
