FREE! Thursday and Friday only!!
There are only two chances left to see Cabaret!
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome! Step inside the decadent world of Cabaret inside the Kit Kat Club. Pleasure and danger entwine as love, freedom, and identity clash against the rise of darkness in 1920s Berlin. Kander and Ebb’s masterpiece Cabaret is daring, dazzling, and more timely than ever. The world outside is changing—inside, anything goes. Your table’s waiting.
Tickets can be purchased at http://BOXOFFICE.TRUMAN.EDU
Cabaret runs November 13-16 and 19-20
