Open Auditions Held For CABARET At Professional Artists of the Pacific 6/27, 28
Professional Artists of the Pacific, LLC, in association with Maui Academy of the Performing Arts is holding open auditions for singers and actors for their fall production of CABARET. Opening on Broadway in 1966, the show was an instant hit and spawned an acclaimed 1972 film.
Set in Berlin, Germany, 1931, on the eve of the Nazi rise to power, it focuses on nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around the cabaret performer Sally Bowles; her relationship with a young writer; and the romance between boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her suitor, a Jewish fruit vendor. Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub who serves as a constant metaphor for the current state of society in Berlin. The show features a great score including Cabaret, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money, Money and Wilkkommen.
There are four male principals, and three female principals to be cast. There are also roles for six female and four male singer/dancers.
