Bring it On! Born to Perform Studio brings this musical to the Moorpark College Performing Arts Center, August 4-6! It's fun for the whole family! Tickets at www.borntoperformstudio.com/bringiton
The musical, loosely based on the 2000 film of the same name written by Jessica Bendinger, focuses on the competitive world of cheerleading and over-the-top team rivalries.
Set in a nightclub in Berlin at the end of the 1920’s, “Cabaret” explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. The story revolves around Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, who is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally's boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. This powerful and darkly comic American musical explores themes of love, political intrigue and the consequences of intolerance. Musical numbers include "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies."
All performances will be held in the intimate Studio Theater in the Moorpark College Performing Arts Center so seating will be limited.
