PAC presenting "Cabaret" April 18 thru 20

Set in the tumultuous city of Berlin just before Hitler's rise to power, "Cabaret" will be performed by students of the SUNY Fredonia Performing Arts Company on April 18, 19, and 20 in Bartlett Theatre. Tickets are available at the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office or online. The show is directed, performed, and technical managed entirely by students. The director is Aundre Seals

The play is based on Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories and John Van Druten's I Am a Camera.

The main action of the play revolves around a cabaret performer, Sally Bowles, and the brief affair she has with an American writer who takes her in after she is kicked out of the Kit Kat Club where she performs. Although Sally and Clifford soon find themselves deeply in love, there is too much chaos in the world around them. Soon they find their relationship is being jeopardized by outside forces which threaten to tear them apart.

Also figuring prominently is the tragic relationship between Fräulein Schneider, a German woman, and her Jewish suitor Herr Schultz.
