Sewanee’s Department of Theatre & Dance and the Department of Music are joining forces to present the classic musical Cabaret.  It tells the story of Cliff Bradshaw, an American writer thrust into the sexually liberated nightclub society of Berlin in 1931.  As he becomes involved with the irrepressible cabaret singer Sally Bowles and the unconventional residents of his boarding house, the Nazis are rising to power just out of sight.  It’s an unforgettable night in the theatre, exuberant and chilling.  Based on Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood and the play I am a Camera by John van Druten, it features a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff.  The show will run October 26-28, and November 1-3, 2018 in the Tennessee Williams Center.

*Students who have participated in a campus tour and information session previously are welcome to join the programming for this event at 5 pm.  Custom visit options are available to students able to arrive on campus in the morning.  To schedule additional custom visit options, please email Maria Watters, Campus Visit Coordinator.
