CABARET

Book by Joe Masteroff –  Music by John Kander – Lyrics by Fred Ebb

Directed by Randy Foster

Here, life is beautiful….This classic of the American musical theatre takes place in the Kit Kat Klub of Berlin as the 1920s draw to a close. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, “Here, life is beautiful” and whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret. Filled with memorable songs such as “Maybe This Time,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” It Couldn’t Please Me More,” and a cast of unforgettable characters, this evening at the Kit Kat Klub will make you leave your troubles at the door.  A winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical,by the writers who gave us CHICAGO.          “Wilkommen!!”

By Jason Robert Brown
This exceptional work, winner of the 2002 Drama Desk Award for Best Music and  Lyrics,   ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up… or from break-up to  meeting, depending on whose version of events we hear.Written by Jason Robert Brown:( PARADE, SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD); THE LAST FIVE YEARS is an intensely personal look at  intimate relationship between and actress and a writer, told from their two very different points of view.

 

“Brimming with persistent melodies, throughout
lyrics and a heartfelt, compelling story.” —Associated Press
 

“…a nearly perfect musical.” 

—Variety

** Not recommended for Children under 15 Years**
A Mystery by Frederick Knott
A Broadway hit, this masterfully constructed thriller moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds
toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene, that will leave you on the edge of your seat or, in the Playhouse’s case, the edge of your pew.
You won’t want to miss this.
“…a first rate shocker…the suspense drama we’ve long awaited eagerly.”
—NY Post
“Frederick Knott is a master craftsman…”
—Women’s Wear Daily.
by Truman Capote/ The Play, adapted by Russell Vandenbroucke.
An American treasure, based on two short stories from Truman Capote, “TheThanksgiving Visitor” and “A Christmas Memory,”
HOLIDAY MEMORIES is a charming, heartwarming remembrance of a young man and his family. A nostalgic holiday tale laced with lyricism, wit and gentle charm. Set in Depression-era rural Alabama, this play ofevocative memories follows Buddy (young Truman Capote) and his elderly cousin (Miss Sook) as they deal with the school bully, make fruitcake for EleanorRoosevelt, cut down the perfect Christmas tree, and share a very special relationship.
“…simply wonderful, a warm, funny and lancingly poignant vignette of a child and a faded
eccentric creating a private island of life and love in a small patch of Dixie some  years ago.”
-NY Times
“It is the intimate detail with which Capote recreates the character
of his friend that lifts this story out of the realm of anecdote and into the
realm of art.”
-  Powells
