Theatre Rhinoceros presents
CABARET
Book by Joe Masteroff. Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood. Music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb.
Directed by John Fisher
Music direction by Armando Fox
Choreography by Adin Walker
Theatre Rhinoceros, in its third year of residence in San Francisco’s historically gay Castro neighborhood and the nation’s longest-running LGBTQ+ theatre, is producing Kander & Ebb’s timeless masterpiece Cabaret … in a retail building-turned-blackbox with a footprint smaller than the average two-bedroom apartment.
Why?
The parallels between CABARET’s 1930s Nollendorfplatz, Berlin and present day Castro, San Francisco, are undeniable. Both promise a haven for the queers and weirdos who might have to hide their true colors in their daily life - largely by way of providing a light escape, or a series of semi-engaged distractions, tailor-made for us, the marginalized, whether that’s through satirical arts and performance, alcohol, drugs, casual intimate encounters, or music that somehow never seems to stop playing.
“So - life is disappointing? Forget it!”
