Shooting Stars – Cabaret (Payments)

Ages 13-18

Join MTA’s Shooting Stars, ages 13-18, in this semester’s production of Cabaret! This Broadway-style show is set in a state-of-the-art 400 seat theater with full sets and costumes.

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s 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’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” and “Two Ladies.”  Mild Adult Themes and Strong Language.

REHEARSALS will occur every Thursday from 6:15 to 9:30 pm for FULL CAST and every SUNDAY from 6:15 to 9:30 pm for smaller scenes and groups as needed.  You must be available to be scheduled both days of rehearsal.  A more detailed Rehearsal Schedule will be provided after the show is cast.
