Cabaret at Walt Whitman Performing Arts Center

Please join us as we present CABARET, based on a 1939 novel by Christopher Isherwood. This musical features a book by Joe Masteroff, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. Story: Cliff Bradshaw, an American author working on a novel in Berlin, encounters Sally Bowles at the seedy Kit Kat Klub where she performs. When she is fired by the club’s owner, she moves in with Cliff and the two fall in love. As the Nazis begin taking control of the German government, the atmosphere of the Kit Kat Klub and the lives of Cliff and Sally begin to change dramatically. The Long Island Musical Theatre Festival provides students with the opportunity to work with Broadway guest artists, perform a fully staged musical with a professional orchestra, and receive training from current Broadway professionals. It is our mission to provide a program that is educational and fun while creating a safe environment for students to take risks and discover who they are as performers.
