Annnnnnd.... We're back!


Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!


     First on the list for the weekend is Cabaret, performing at Cite des Arts!  Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2:00pm!  There are tickets available for next weekend too, but don't miss out on seeing this show!



     "Cabaret is a musical based on a book written by Christopher Isherwood, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. The 1966 Broadway production became a hit and spawned a 1972 film as well as numerous subsequent productions.

      It is based on John Van Druten's 1951 play I Am a Camera, which in turn was adapted from the 1939 short novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood. Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, it focuses on nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around the 19-y
ear-old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with the young American writer Cliff Bradshaw.


      A sub-plot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor. Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub which serves as a constant metaphor for the tenuous and threatening state of late Weimar Germany throughout the show."
 

     While you're downtown on Saturday, be certain to find your way to the first annual Steampunk Festival, also at Cite!




     The University of Louisiana -Lafayette, Department of Theatre and Dance proudly presents State of La Danse in the auditorium in Angelle Hall, UL campus.  The concert will be showing both November 10th at 7:30pm, and November 11 at 2:00pm. 

  
   Oh, and by the by, tickets have just gone on sale for St. Martinville Evangeline Players' production of:  A DICKENS’ CHRISTMAS CAROL: A TRAVELING TRAVESTY IN TWO TUMULTUOUS ACTS.  Tickets can be purchased at Shamrock Office Supply (394-5574) and The Duchamp Opera House (394-6604.)  


   Sorry that this update is coming on Friday, and we've already missed some of this weekend's offerings, we'll be back at full speed early in the week!
