The Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) presents its production of Cabaret at the Solvang Festival Theater, with performances through Aug. 25. This iteration of the iconic musical opened at the Marian Theatre in Santa Maria where it ran in late July, and moved to Solvang in early August.
Set in Berlin during the 1930s, Cabaret follows a vibrant cast of characters as they “navigate love, ambition, and the looming shadows of a changing world,” according to press materials.
The production’s creative team includes director Emily Trask, who described the show’s setting as a world “where glamour and sleaze, excess and repression, decadence and decay, the scintillating and the sinister intertwine.”
“I invite you to embrace its subversive spirit, enjoy yourself, tap your toes, challenge your perceptions, and confront the uncomfortable truths it lays bare,” Trask said in press materials.
Cabaret’s ensemble cast includes Erika Olson (pictured) as Sally Bowles, Diva LaMarr as Emcee, George Walker as Cliff, Kitty Balay as Fraulein Shultz, Billy Breed as Herr Schultz, Mike Fiore as Ernst, Molly Dobbs as Fraulein Kost/Fritzie, Marisa Moenho as Rosie, Sydni Ramirez as Frenchie, Odessa Laurie as Helga, and Sophia Caressa as Lulu.
