NRT goes to the 'Cabaret'


Singing, dancing and Nazis: No repayment Theater will perform “Cabaret” this weekend at 9:20 tonight, 8 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday in 111 Forum.

Admission to the performance is gratis, but donations are accepted to help NRT with its future productions.

Director Alex Principe said he initially wanted to direct an adaptation of Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” for the Halloween weekend show, but Disney wouldn’t give him the rights, so he chose “Cabaret” instead.

I wanted to creep people out, Principe (senior-theatre) said. What improved way to scare people other than by throwing reality at them?

Cabaret centers on Clifford Bradshaw, a writer who travels to Berlin from his native Harrisburg and meets a cabaret player named Sally Bowles at the Kit Kat Klub. The play takes place as the Nazi party is rising to power in the untimely 1930s.
