ABOUT THE SHOW
The grandmother of dark comedies gets a mischievous and campy makeover. Newly engaged theater critic Mortimer discovers his two elderly Aunts are harboring some killer secrets, just as his estranged brother descends upon the family home, upending everything he thought to be true in his life. To save his family, his fiancé, and his own sanity, Mortimer must learn to navigate a new world gone mad…all while trying to make the 8 o’clock curtain. Deliciously macabre, classically winsome, and queerishly delightful, get ready for a new vision for one of theater’s most enduring comedies.

Audiences agree with Lily Janiak, SF Chronicle Theater Critic: "Everyone, go listen to Monique Hafen Adams sing."

"Her [Hafen Adams's] rendition of the ballad “Maybe This Time” is such a perfectly fanned slow burn that you might realize at the end you haven’t breathed the entire time. And after hearing her take on the title number, you will never again mistake it for a lighthearted invitation to carouse." - Lily Janiak, SF Chronicle | May 29, 2024

ABOUT THE SHOW
At the close of 1920s Berlin, hedonistic nightlife thrives, and expats, locals, and artisans coexist at the seedy Kit Kat Klub. With the political rise of the N**i party, an ominous and violent landscape emerges throughout Germany—some remain oblivious and apathetic, while others sound an alarm. With provocative grit, scintillating choreography, and a highly celebrated score, Cabaret proves itself to be one of the great theatrical works of the 20th century while never letting us forget “it can happen here."
