SFA's Winter 2027 Musical: Cabaret
Performing January 22-24 & 29-31, 2027 at Sherwood Center for the Arts
Welcome to the Kit Kat Club—leave your troubles outside.
In Cabaret, the lights are bright, the music is bold, and the world beyond the stage is shifting in dangerous ways.
Set in Berlin as political unrest rises, this powerful musical weaves together romance, temptation, and the cost of ignoring what’s happening just outside the spotlight. Seductive, haunting, and deeply relevant, Cabaret is a night at the theater you won’t forget.
Directed by Taylor Miller
Music Direction by Sarah Hansen
Choreography by Haley Hamilton Fabris
