here this story sits in history gives me pause.

It does not sit in the heyday of the Weim

ar Republic; w

e begin tonight’s tale a few m

onths after the devastating financial crash of 1929. It does not sit in the height of N

azi power; w

e end before the 1930 election, four years before H

itler will becom

e Fuhrer. This story is nestled in the in-betw

een—a space w

here one can almost

imagine, m

aybe, it could have gone another way.

As you read this, folks behind the stage are

readying this space for real people today to em

body imagined people of that in-betw

een. They are not so different from

you. There is

the naïve, the passive, the respectable, the opportunistic, the fervent, the optim

istic . . . and over the course of only a few

months, they find

themselves caught up in w

hat we refer to as a

historical mom

ent that I suppose, to them, felt

like just another day. I suppose that is what all the

in-betweens feel like.

One could argue that w

e are always in an in-

between—

in between one historical m

oment and

another. And, if this is the case, I w

onder . . . have w

e staved off unimaginable horrors w

e will never

know?

TEThe w

orld of Cabaret is entering into the new

decade of 1930 in a B

erlin under the Weim

ar Republic. W

hat we know

, the characters do not. N

azism is on the rise, and G

ermany is about to fall

economically, spiritually, artistically, and pro-

foundly to its knees. And here w

e are in real time,

entering into our own new

decade of 2020. Our

world changes every day, and w

hile our access to know

ledge has spread exponentially with the

growth of technology, w

e are still incapable of know

ing one thing—

what w

ill come next. So, at

least for today, our next move w

ill be to watch

this production with our eyes like cam

eras, taking m

ental snapshots of scenes to log into our mem

-ory bank as another piece of our history on file. I hope you w

ill flip through your photo albums and

recall them from

time to tim

e.

Christopher Isherw

ood wrote in his 1939 novel

Goodbye to Berlin, “I am

a camera w

ith its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.” The am

ount of information w

e take in is astounding, our brain alw

ays working to filter w

hat will be

retained. We can focus like a cam

era, either up close or w

ith a wide lens. Isherw

ood wrote G

ood-bye to Berlin w

ith an awareness that w

hat he wit-

nessed in Berlin betw

een the years 1929 and 1933 m

ust be recorded. This is also the time and place

where our show

, Cabaret, is taking place.

In 1951, John Van Druten w

rote a play titled I Am

A

Cam

era based on Isherwood’s novel. W

hile Ish-erw

ood included multiple stories of people in his

work, Van D

ruten chose to turn his focus to one person: Sally B

owles, a perform

er in one of Ber-

lin’s nightclubs. He w

rites in his Note to Produc-

ers, “The story of Sally Bow

les appealed to me

when I first read it, over fifteen years ago. I knew

, then, that there w

as a play buried in it . . . She thinks of no one else for m

ore than a mom

ent.” H

e also chooses to write w

hat he finds to be the m

ost significant part of the play. “The mood of

the play—the establishm

ent for the audience of w

hat it felt like to be living in Berlin in 1930, and

the kind of life and people that one met there,

then—is its m

ost important quality.”

The story reached its musical form

, Cabaret, in

1966. The music w

as written by John K

ander and Fred Ebb (tw

o Jewish m

en), libretto written by U

S A

ir Force WW

II veteran Joe Masteroff, and direct-

ed by Broadw

ay legend Hal Prince. G

roundbreak-ing for the tim

e period in content, originality, and com

plete integration of the text, the music and

lyricist duo revolutionized a pre-war m

asterpiece, m

aking it an unbelievable success. With the 1998

revival (the version this production is based upon), w

hich became the third longest-running revival of

a Broadw

ay musical, m

ajor updates to the entire score w

ere made in the form

of synthesizers and a larger stage band and also included the m

usi-cians in the w

orld of the Cabaret as characters.

Possibly the most significant change, how

ever, w

as the addition of the hit ballad “Maybe This

Time,” w

ritten in for Bob Fosse’s m

ovie adapta-tion in 1972. The show

’s latest revival was in 2014,

a testament to its success and affirm

ation of its longevity as a show

.

Why has this story not only survived but thrived

for so long? Perhaps it’s the decay of humanity

for the pessimist, or the hope of building new

am

ongst the wreckage for the optim

ists, or even the fire of fight for those in betw

een. Maybe au-

dience mem

bers simply enjoy the m

usic. Or—

just m

aybe—it’s because the play continues to find

relevance in the age it’s being performed despite

the time and location of the show

never chang-ing. B

ut these are only my thoughts. W

e, as the audience of such a lyrical and poignant show

and as the cam

eras of the world, m

ust ask ourselves these questions begged by the w

ork: are we

bound to allow history to repeat itself, or can w

e use our m

odern age to our benefit in reshaping our future to w

hat we hope it can be? A

nd if we

can decide instead of a wide angle to refocus and

zoom our ow

n lenses as Isherwood did, w

hat will

we truly see inside the fram

e of our world today

compared to the w

orld that has already been cap-

tured in pictures we’ve seen in our history books?

A

Krannert C

COME AS YOU ARE. LEAVE DIFFERENT.

U of I students, come on in. In whatever clothes, whatever state of mind, from whatever world of experience, you are welcome here. We don’t have a dress code, we don’t have an opinion code, and we want the Center to be your kind of place. Because of the vital support of Krannert Center donors and the Krannert Center U of I student fee, U of I students never pay more than $10 for a ticket, and dozens of events each year are completely free.

Your presence helps to make Krannert Center a place like nowhere else—and what you can experience here makes your education like nobody else’s. If you are inspired by what you fi nd here, invite others to join you.

When you come to Krannert Center, we promise that you’ll leave different: refreshed, reaffi rmed, renewed!
