*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*



PLAYERS GUILD THEATRE TO PRESENT THE THEATRICAL TOUR-DE-FORCE,* CABARET  *



CANTON, OH – Willkommen, beinvenue, welcome to the seedy nightlife of the
Kit Kat Klub as the Players Guild Theatre presents CABARET!  Winner of
multiple Tony Awards including the 1998 award for Best Revival, CABARET
takes place in a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s draw to a close. A garish
Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will
forget all their troubles at the CABARET. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as
wry commentary, CABARET explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of
Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging
Third Reich.



Under the direction of the Guild’s Resident Director, Jonathan Tisevich,
with choreography by Michael Lawrence Akers, musical direction by Steve
Parsons, costumes designed by Stephen Ostertag, lighting and sound design
by Scott Sutton, and scenic design by the Guild’s Producing Artistic
Director, Joshua Erichsen, CABARET is being reimagined and staged in the
intimacy of the William G. Fry Theatre.
