MONMOUTH — Monmouth Community Players will perform “Cabaret” as its midseason musical. The performance will run from Jan. 22 through 31, at Cumston Hall, 796 Main St.
The show is being directed by Vincent Ratsavong, who frequently works with Community Little Theare. Rebecca Caron, a Monmouth native, is the musical director.
Welcome to the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the emcee (Adam P. Blais), Sally Bowles (Lindsay Cagney) and a raucous ensemble (Michael Litchfield, Christine Gill, Sarah Wing, Olivia Mayo, Becca Hodgdon, Aaron Louque, Brandon Chaloux, Jeffery Fairfield and Cody Watson) take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd — and to leave their troubles outside.
When American writer Clifford Bradshaw (Derrick Lacasse) travels to Berlin in search of inspiration, he finds it in Sally and they begin a torrid affair. However, outside their door, the Nazis’ impending rise to power heralds a brutal end to their decadent way of life. The cast is rounded out by Fraulein Schneider (Lucy Poland), Herr Schultz (Ray Fletcher) and a young boy (Corbin Bourgoin).
