WELCOME to our production of Cabaret. We are thrilled to have you here tonight to witness this incredible musical and to be part of this special moment with us. Our cast and crew have been working tirelessly to bring you a performance that will transport you to another time and place. From the stunning choreography, directing and the music, to the dazzling costumes and sets, every detail has been crafted with care to create an unforgettable experience.
At its heart, Cabaret is a story about love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness. But it is also a story that addresses themes of discrimination that were prevalent during the time in which it is set, and sadly continue to persist today. It is our hope that this production will not only entertain you but also inspire you to reflect on the importance of acceptance and understanding in our world. Innately, we all know that every human being deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. In the face of hatred and intolerance, we must stand together and celebrate our diversity as a strength, not a weakness. It is only through empathy and compassion that we can build a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.
As we begin this journey tonight, we invite you to open your hearts and minds, to embrace the messages of love and hope that this production embodies, and to join us in our commitment to creating a more just and equitable world for all. This current show is hopefully our last one in this contraption and make-shift black-box we have fabricated to accommodate our seasons over the previous two years, as we await the completed gift of 3 new theatre spaces. This progress could not have been possible without your support. We thank our students, staff and faculty who have continually been willing to make the necessary compromises without being compromised to deliver optimum quality productions as instruction for students and edutainment for the audience. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the musical stylings of Cabaret!

DRAMATURGS NOTE
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome...
Cabaret’s Setting
Our story is set in the 1920s and 1930s in Berlin, Germany, right after World War I (1914-1918). Germany was governed by The Weimar Republic from 1919 to 1933, in the period after WWI until the rise of Nazi Germany. In WWI, three million people died. Due to the war, Germany incurred a lot of debt, which led to hyperinflation in the 1920s. There is a famous story that people burned their paper bills (German marks) because they were worth more as fuel than as money. In 1929, one-fourth of the German population lost their jobs. In this terrible economy, people could not trust anything and started questioning what they should believe.
Berlin was known as a place full of cultural diversity. Many immigrants and tourists were visiting Berlin. There were immigrants from Russia and Jewish people living throughout Europe. Even before Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, antisemitism existed in daily life. Jews were targets of insults, intimidation, boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses, propaganda, lies, and anti-Jewish demonstrations. In Cabaret, many characters talk about whether other people are Jews or Germans; the classification does matter a lot to them.
Berlin, especially Nollendorfplatz, was also known as a gay-friendly area. In the 1930s, Nollendorfplatz was a center of entertainment and culture, home to artists and writers. At this time, being gay was considered illegal and hundreds of gay men were convicted and sent to prison every year in Germany. Although, there were some gay rights movements happening too. The Institute for Sexual Science was founded in 1919 and was the world’s first institution studying the science of sexuality. Even though there was censorship, there were some gay and lesbian magazines published and some films about gay couples screened.
Ironically, despite the difficult economic times, the culture of the time was very decadent and rich. Expressionism, which is one of the most well-known art styles whose goal is to express interior feelings, started in Germany and was established during this time. There were a lot of “cultural hustlers” who sought to escape from the terrible social situation. Berlin had a thriving nightlife full of bars and cabarets. There were between 65 and 80 gay bars and 50 lesbian bars in the capital alone.
Production History of Cabaret
The musical Cabaret is based on the play I am a Camera (1951) staged by John Van Druten, which was based on the novel, Goodbye to Berlin (1939), a semi-autobiographical novel written by Christopher Isherwood. The novel was written 100 years ago but is still relevant to our society today. Cabaret premiered in 1966 and has had revivals in 1987, 1998, and 2014. There was a famous film adaptation made in 1972, directed by Bob Fosse and starring Liza Minnelli.
Cabaret has been performed again and again because it remains relevant. Every time a revival is on stage, it has different song lists and is revised a lot. Most notably, the original production does not have any suggestion that Cliff may be gay or bisexual. In this revised 1987 version, his bisexuality is implied, and in the 1998 version, he is clearly gay or bisexual.
Even though the musical Cabaret was written several decades ago, the issues faced by characters in Cabaret are still relevant to our society today. In Cabaret, two of our characters react in opposite ways to the changes happening in the society around them. What can you do when you see society is going in the wrong direction? Or what should you do?
Willkomen im cabaret! Bievenue au cabaret! Welcome to the cabaret!
