“CABARET” IS A NORTH PICK UP SCC & KP MEMBERS - 1207 N Pebble Beach Blvd., the far end of parking lot between North Course Lane and the security patrol.
Activity Level: 2
Winner of 12 Tony Awards, Cabaret has enjoyed multiple Broadway revivals including the most recent 2024 production and the acclaimed film version starring Liza Minelli. In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. One of the most poignant musicals of our generation, Cabaret features such songs as “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” and “Maybe This Time.”

Written by Ira Levin in 1978, Deathtrap takes us into the world of Sidney Bruhl, a once-successful writer of stage thrillers. Sidney is in the grip of chronic writer’s block when young playwright Clifford Anderson sends him a brilliant new whodunit he has written, entitled Deathtrap, a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Desperate to set Broadway alight once more, should Sidney kill the newcomer and pass the play off as his own? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.
