Cabaret<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed and Choreographed by Tod Kubo
April 16-19, 2026
Anne R. Belk Theater, Robinson Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee\u2019s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret<\/em> explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin\u2019s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Musical numbers include \u201cWillkommen,\u201d \u201cCabaret,\u201d \u201cDon’t Tell Mama\u201d and \u201cTwo Ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. for an invited high school preview of final dress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
