“Life is a CABARET my friend!”

 

The Two Of Us Productions, a local theater company based in Copake NY, is pleased to present CABARET, the award winning musical drama by Joe Masteroff, with music by John Kander & lyrics by Fred Ebb. Performances are November 12th, 13th, 14th, and the following weekend of Nov. 19th, 20th, & 21st, 2021. Presented in the intimate Copake Grange Theater in Copake NY, you don't want to miss this true tale of bigotry, intolerance, religious prejudice, and social upheaval. 

 

At its' heart CABARET is a dramatic commentary told through three parallel story lines: the younger couple who are denying reality, the "toast of Mayfair" Fraulein Sally Bowles and the aspiring novelist Cliff Bradshaw from America; a dramatic & sweetly romantic sub-plot of love denied in the endearing older couple Fraulein Schneider & Herr Schultz; and the social commentary of the Master Of Ceremonies that was played by Joel Grey in the original production & by Alan Cummings in this 1978 version. The Kit Kat Klub performers that this show is so well known for work with the Master of Ceremonies in commenting on the dark cloud of National Socialism that is engulfing 1930's Germany & how the gathering storm is impacting the principle characters. 

 

CABARET features Constance Lopez as the Master of Ceremonies, Betsy Rees as Sally Bowles, Stephen Foust as Cliff Bradshaw, Benita Zahn as Fraulein Schneider, Fred Sirois as Herr Schultz, Brian Yorck as Ernst Ludwig, Andrew Stein as Klub owner Max, and Candace Wood as the always hospitable Fraulein Kost. CABARET also features a dynamite group of singers & dancers on-stage at the Kit Kat Klub, including Karissa Payson as Helga, Cathy Hunt Wheelock as Frenchie, Debra Tice Hughes as Texas, Lauren Wicks as Rosie, Emily Fuller as Lulu, Fran Martino as Bobby and Black Schober as Victor. The Kit Kat Klub orchestra will be on-stage live & in-person, so Sally Bowles really means it when she says “come hear the band!” 

 

Performances of CABARET are 2 weekends only – November 12th, 13th, 14th, and the following weekend of November 19th, 20th, & 21st, 2021.  Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30pm and Sunday matinees are at 3pm. The comfortable & intimate Theater at The Grange is located at The Copake Grange at 628 Empire Road in downtown Copake NY across from the Clocktower Pub. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students & seniors, and $12 for groups & families.
