Pistarckle Theater starts its new season off with a bang with the season opener “Cabaret.” It’s 1931 in Germany; the Weimar Republic is crumbling; Nazism is on the rise; anti-Semitism is growing; a raw sexuality is pervasive everywhere, but inside the cabaret all one’s troubles are forgotten and everyone is beautiful, even the band is beautiful. Inside the Kit Kat Klub — where its master of ceremonies hosts the evenings events and Sally Bowles, an English performer is caught up in a whirlwind of romance and intrigue with an expatriated American writer as they navigate through very dangerous times when sons betray fathers and lovers live for the moment. The musical is performed with a live band of some of the best musicians on island.
