Widow and widower Laura Curtis and Sam Jonas meet in a physician’s waiting room and their discussions blossom into a celebration of new love. When they announce plans to live together without marrying in order to preserve Laura’s social security benefits, their grown children go through the ceiling. Sam’s daughter is married to her ex-analyst, a stuffy neurotic; Laura’s son has a wife who is paranoid about food additives and their sexual performance. This adult comedy has a happy ending but not before the second generation is turned upside down.

CABARET
Directed by Mark Wygonik
Sponsor:  Schorner & Associates

Wilkommen! to the steamy Kit Kat Club. Join the Master of Ceremonies as he beckons you to “leave your troubles outside.” Cabaret is the story of 1930’s Berlin—the Nazis are rising to power, the city is replete with seedy cabarets, women of the evening, and colorful characters -- Sally Bowles, the hard-edged, lovable, emotionally needy British entertainer; Cliff the innocent American writer; Frauline Schneider the German landlord; Herr Schultz the Jewish fruit merchant…. Cabaret has won 12 Tony Awards over three Broadway incarnations and features a great score, including “Money”, “Don’t Tell Mama” and, of course, “Cabaret.” With book by Joe Masteroff, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, this show is a must-see.
