Cabaret

View Marquee

Daring and exuberantly entertaining, ‘Cabaret’ immerses you in the lively yet dark world of 1920s Berlin as it transitions toward the Third Reich. The story follows a young American writer, Cliff, who falls for the English singer Sally Bowles, while the boarding house owner, Fräulein Schneider, embarks on a tentative romance with a Jewish fruit seller, Herr Schultz. This iconic musical, with 14 Tony Awards to its name, features unforgettable songs like ‘Willkommen’ and ‘Cabaret,’ providing a gripping glimpse into a society on the cusp of change.


This Fringe production will be presented on the Trinkle MainStage.

To Kill A Mockingbird

After a decade-long absence, we are thrilled to welcome back the award-winning Christopher Sergel adaptation of Harper Lee’s iconic novel, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ to the MMT stage. Set in a tranquil Alabama town during the Great Depression, the story revolves around Scout and Jem, growing up with their widowed father, Atticus Finch. Transporting us to a simpler era, the play captures the essence of a bygone time, with children’s summer adventures, storytelling, and intrigue surrounding their enigmatic neighbor, Boo Radley. However, the town’s serene façade shatters when a young black man faces a grave accusation. Driven by unwavering moral principles, local lawyer Atticus embarks on a courageous journey to defend the accused in a trial that sends shockwaves through the community. This enduring and thought-provoking work delves into themes of prejudice, compassion, and the unyielding commitment to doing what’s right.

NEW MATINEE SHOW ADDED ON 9/25 @ 10AM. TICKETS WILL BE AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE FOR THIS SHOW.

Dissonance

Dissonance is a 90-minute two-person play about race, love, and friendship. Angela, a Black woman, and Lauren, a White woman, have been friends for 20 years. They met in graduate school, became godmothers to each other’s children, and most recently, started a new business, but they have never had a candid conversation about race . . . until now. As they open their cafe in a historically Black neighborhood, they uncover deeply held perceptions about race and have to decide if being brutally honest and devastatingly vulnerable is worth the risk of their friendship’s potential end. On the heels of George Floyd’s murder and the summer of 2020, these women allow themselves to have the hard conversation and become closer than ever as a result of it.

This production contains mature themes that may not be appropriate for all ages. We rate this a PG-13 production.
