Arts Mission Oak Cliff & The Lost Boy Presents bring a contemporary rendition of CABARET to Oak Cliff this August!
Come one, come all! Let’s dive the underground sexuality and sensuality of the Kit Kat Club. We’re hopping into one of the most iconic, complex, and liberating worlds to seduce audiences—and everyone (unless you’re a nazi) is welcome to the party! Join us as we explore the fluidity, sharpness, and all the textures in-between in a one-hour movement workshop led by Avery-Jai & Lauren.
Interested in joining the Cabaret cast? Come prepared with ONE of the following: 16-32 bars of a song of your choice (a cappella), one minute monologue, or one minute dance. We’d be happy to see YOU! Be sure to give the musical a listen ;)
About the Production
The historic sanctuary of AMOC, which mirrors the sanctity of the Kit Kat Club, provides an immersive and intimate setting for the show’s historically-relevant and politically provocative narrative set in 1931 Berlin. As romances develop in this modern-iteration of the Broadway classic, so does the swelling tide to suppress individuality and increase conformity with the Nazi ideal.
Slated for 8 performances at AMOC and a string of 1-act pop-up performances in different venues around the metroplex, audiences will indulge in this fresh rendering of classic theatre full of jaw dropping music, scandalous dance numbers and bold casting choices. This story is a reflection of the makers, the neighborhood, and the world. The creative team intentionally reclaims the narrative and celebrates self-expression. Cabaret is a story that must be told and, in true Oak Cliff-fashion, we’re doing it together.
Casting
Seeking a 17-member cast. Please note, the lead roles Emcee and Sally Boles have been pre-casted, we're seeking ensemble members to understudy.
Pay
Performers will be paid a stipend. More detailed information coming soon.
