“There was a cabaret and there was a master of ceremonies and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany. It was the end of the world…and we were fast asleep….” In the darkness, silence. A drum roll builds steadily like a wave, and crashes with a cymbal’s sharp reverberation. From the orchestra, a steady vamp begins. As the pulse grows stronger a spotlight on the stage grows brighter. Then, into the spotlight he steps. Chalk white face, crimson lips, he is as menacing as he is fascinating, he is the EMCEE. He invites us and we follow-into the decadent provocative world of the cabaret.

Sally Bowles, a little middle-class lass from Chelsea, London, is working as a singer at Berlin’s Kit-Kat Club and doing her not very good best to live the thrillingly decadent life which the city is supposed to offer. Into her orbit comes Cliff Bradshaw, a young American writer, and Sally soon moves determinedly in to join him in his room in the boarding house run by Fraulein Schneider. Their fellow lodgers include the cheerful, Fraulein Kost, and the gentle, graying fruiterer Herr Schultz. As the clouds gather, Sally, is determined to show the world what a good time she is having and she will not or cannot hear the noises of Nazism around her. But the others can.


Bridge toTerabithia

byKatherine Paterson


Auditions June 27, 28

Auditions for Theatre Tillsonburg’s teen production of Bridge to Terabithia will take place at the Otter Valley Playhouse

  • Directed by: Hailey McAra and Keisha Reilly,
  • Produced by: Hayley Pusztai and Tess Lofthouse

This powerful adaptation focuses the humor, warmth and emotional intensity of Katherine Paterson’s novel. Jesse draws and dreams of becoming something special. Leslie, the new girl from the city and the ultimate outsider, opens a world of imagination, art and literature for him. Together they create Terabithia, a fantasy kingdom where they are safe from those who don’t understand them. Their friendship grows as Jesse’s world expands. When tragedy strikes, the strength gained in Terabithia takes Jesse forward on his own and lets him share the magic of his dreams.
