Brüka’s 33rd season concludes with the 1998 revival of CABARET (Kander\, Ebb\, Materoff). Set as the glittering\, dark 1920s give way to the emerging Third Reich\, the Master of Ceremonies welcomes all to forget their troubles. His bawdy songs provide wry commentary as Cabaret explores the heady\, dangerous life of Berlin. Directed by Mary Bennett and Choreographed by Alexander Biber. Music Direction by Bill Quinby and Vocal Direction by Natalie Laster Jones. Cabaret runs from June 26 to July 18\, 2026. \nMORE ABOUT THE SHOW: The shadow of history stretches across time. Twenty-five years ago\, Bruka brought Cabaret to life in the year 2000\, confronting the promise and the peril of a new era. Now\, for the 2025/2026 season\,Bruka plunges into the heart of 1929/1930’s Berlin\, offering a raw\, authentic look at a dangerous world reflected in the decadence and mystique of Cabaret. \nThis year’s theme\, “WILD CARD\,” promises an unpredictable\, game-changing season that continues to explore live theatre in the raw\, authentic\, cutting-edge style that Brüka has become known for. With our 33rd season\, we truly “walk on the wild side.” In addition\, our Studio 44 space will host workshops\, community opportunities\, house our theatrical books store\, and serve as a conversational box office hub. \nWe are proud to be partnering with Our Center for our entire 33rd season.

This is part of our commitment to partner with local non-profits to enhance the experiences of both our organizations and the wider community. \nTICKET INFORMATION\nArtist Night & Our Center Night Tickets must be purchased in advance to receive a discount of our regularly priced tickets.
