The Department of Theatre Dance at Winona State University (WSU) will present “Cabaret,” the critically acclaimed musical, a book by Joe Masteroff. Based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood. Music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. The performance will be at the Dorothy B. Magnus Theater in the WSU Performing Arts Center. Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Apr. 13, through Sunday, Apr. 16.

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s 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. Musical numbers include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Two Ladies.” Come spend an evening at the “Cabaret!”

“Cabaret” is directed by Heather Williams-Williams.
