Galveston's only professional theatre company, Island ETC, has emerged from the waters of Hurricane Ike in a new location - 2317 Mechanic Street. The beautiful theatre previously known as the Strand Theatre is now home to ETC. ETC at the Strand Theatre is pleased to announce our Grand Opening on Friday, July 10th with the deliciously and divinely decadent musical, CABARET.
CABARET is one of the most famous works by the musical collaborators, John Kander and Fred Ebb. With a book by Joe Masteroff, the story is based on Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories and John Van Druten's I Am A Camera. CABARET tells the story of an English cabaret singer's romance with an American writer set against the background of a very liberated yet crumbling Germany at the start of the Third Reich. CABARET includes some of the best-known songs in musical history - "Wilkommen," "Maybe This Time," "Money," and of course, "Cabaret."
This production is directed by ETC artistic director, Kim Mytelka. "CABARET is the show that brought the ETC team together. It only seemed appropriate to begin life in our new home with this incredible show. But," promises Mytelka, "don't think you've seen it before. This is an amazing cast! I asked my production team to look at the show with both experience and new eyes. We have definitely found a few new 'tricks up our sleeves.'" The CABARET production team consists of Carol Daubert (Musical Director), Jennifer Garza (Choreographer), Tom Boone (Scenic Design), Danny Morgan, Tony Garcia, and Jutta Franklin (Costume Design), Todd Zaba (Lighting Design), and Elizabeth Ektefaei (Production Stage Manager). Returning to reprise their roles are Robin Lusby Schaefer as Sally Bowles and Kevin Daugherty as the Emcee.
ETC at the Strand Theatre does not recommend this production for children.
CABARET opens Friday, July 10th and performances continue through August 8th. Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sunday afternoons at 2:30pm. Tickets are $25.00 for adults and $20.00 for students and senior citizens. Group rates are available for groups of ten or more.
