"Life is a CABARET my friend!"


 

The Two Of Us Productions, a local theater company based in Copake NY, is
pleased to return to live in-person theater with CABARET, the award winning
musical drama by Joe Masteroff, with music by John Kander & lyrics by Fred
Ebb.  Performances are Nov. 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 & gently 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 1998 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, Matt Leinung as Hans, 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.  For advance reservations visit
