CABARET will close May 15th, 2011.

With rave reviews, effusive audience response and near sell-out houses, Artistic Director Sean Murray is delighted to announce the extension of Cygnet's current production, CABARET. The show, which was originally scheduled to close on May 15th, 2011 has been extended for just one week!

Despite the recent cold weather outside, inside Cygnet Theatre the heat is rising with the steamy world of the Kit Kat Klub in Kander and Ebb's CABARET. Rehearsals are underway with Artistic Director Sean Murray at the helm, Billy Thompson as Music Director and David Brannen as Choreographer.

Wendy Wasserstein's groundbreaking play about identity, family, feminism and art follows Heidi Holland from insecure student at a high school dance in the 1960's to successful art historian promoting female artists in the late 1980's. Through Heidi's travels, we are able to peek in on the changing roles of women in our society in the last half of the twentieth century and explore what defines success and how we go about searching for meaning in our lives. Along for this touching and humorous journey are Heidi's friends, including the ever-changing Susan, the witty and supportive Peter and the charming on-again off-again lover Scoop.

New Village Arts, Carlsbad's award-winning, professional theatre, will be presenting a special one-night-only playreading of Wendy Wasserstein's OLD MONEY on Monday, April 19 at 7:30 PM.

La Jolla Playhouse productions heading for national exposure fared well as the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle on Monday, Jan. 26, 2009, presented the annual Craig Noel Awards for Theatrical Excellence, honoring the best local stage work of 2008. Noel, the 93-year-old founding director of the Old Globe Theatre, was in attendance for his namesake awards, which were presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, in La Jolla, attended by some 350 theater industry members and supporters. Moises Kaufman's '33 Variations,' about to open on Broadway with Jane Fonda in the lead role, was honored for David Lander's lighting and Derek McLane's set. The Playhouse's premiere of Joe DiPietro and David Bryan's 'Memphis' (now in production at Seattle's Fifth Avenue Theatre) was honored as outstanding new musical and for Chad Kimball's lead performance. A fresh staging of 'Xanadu,' which Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley first directed on Broadway, was named outstanding resident musical, and Bill T. Jones won for his choreography in the Playhouse's hip-hop musical 'The Seven.' Old Globe productions garnered four mentions, including Steven Drukman's boxing-themed drama about Joe Louis, 'In This Corner,' which was named outstanding new play. 'Dancing in the Dark,' a debut musical with Broadway aspirations (based on the classic film 'The Band Wagon'), won for Patrick Page's featured performance and Larry Hochman's orchestrations. A revival of 'The Women,' directed by Old Globe resident artistic director Darko Tresnjak, was honored for Anna Oliver's costumes. And the national touring production of 'Spring Awakening,' produced by Broadway/San Diego, a Nederlander Organization, won for best touring show.
