Actors' Net Presents CABARET July 15-31

Cabaret, the explosive musical about the rise of Nazism set against the backdrop of a seedy German cabaret in the 1930s takes to the Heritage Center stage in Morrisville. Sally Bowles is a talented singer/dancer in "The Kit Kat Club," run by a Nazi sympathizer. Their shows provide a haven to a citizenry confused and frightened by the undercurrents in their land. The club's emcee and gorgeous dancers live a debauched lifestyle as the new order comes to power. Sally meets a naïve American writer who unwittingly helps the Nazis. They move into a tenement together and witness a romance bloom between an elderly Jewish tenant and their landlady. Can young love -- or mature love -- survive in a country embracing hate?
