Cabaret at LMU Theatre Arts

Loyola Marymount University’s Theatre Arts program presents the Broadway classic musical “Cabaret” Oct. 7-9 and Oct. 13-15 on the Westchester campus. Set in the twilight of the Jazz Age of post-World War I Berlin, when Hitler’s totalitarian regime and the Nazi party are beginning to take hold, “Cabaret” follows Clifford Bradshaw, a struggling American writer, who meets Sally Bowles, a vivacious, talented cabaret performer, and an utterly lost soul. With a distinctly Brechtian dose of provocation and a score featuring songs that have become classics of the American musical theatre, “Cabaret” is a fierce, meaty musical that pushes boundaries in every way. LMU’s show is directed by Dana Resnick, clinical associate professor of theatre arts in LMU College of Communication and Fine Arts, with musical direction by Pete White and choreography by Laura Ann Smyth. All performances are at 8 p.m. in LMU’s Strub Theatre inside the Foley Building, 1 LMU Drive, Los Angeles, 90045. Tickets can be purchased here.
