The scene is a night club in Berlin, in the late 1920's. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they'll be forgotten at the Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout. On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is in the process of being made. All your favorite musical numbers included.

CABARET' will run from August 28 until September 13, with shows at 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2pm on Sundays. Single tickets are now available at www.daytonplayhouse.org or by calling 937-424-8477, at a price of $15/Adult, $14/Senior, and $10/Child or Student.
