The Theatre Department at Columbia College Chicago will kick off its 2022 Spring semester with the production Cabaret.

Cabaret, directed by Elizabeth Swanson and based on the novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood and the book by Joe Masteroff, is a musical written in 1966 centering around American writer Cliff Bradshaw’s engagement with Berlin and its cast of characters around the 1930s during the beginning of the Nazi takeover of Germany. It will be performed as a staged concert.

Cabaret will run from February 16 to February 19 at the Courtyard Theatre at the Getz Theatre Center located at 72 E. 11th Street in Chicago.

Columbia continues to hold safety measures in place informed by guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the State of Illinois, the City of Chicago, and consultations with epidemiology experts from Rush University and the University of Chicago.
