ILLINI UNION BOARD PRESENTS "CABARET"

Powerful World War II musical to be produced at Foellinger 
Auditorium-November 11th, 12th, & 13th.

Urbana, IL - The Illini Union Board (IUB) will be producing three 
performances of "Cabaret" November 11th and November 12th at 7:30pm 
and November 13th at 2:00pm at Foellinger Auditorium.  Tickets will 
go on sale on October 10th at the Illini Union Ticket Central and 
Assembly Hall box office.  Prices range from $10-12 with group rates 
available.

"Cabaret" set in the tumultuous city of Berlin just before Hitler's 
rise to power, is based on Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories and 
John Van Druten's I Am a Camera. The main action of the play revolves 
around a cabaret performer, Sally Bowles, and the brief affair she 
has with an American writer who takes her in after she is kicked out 
of the Kit Kat Club where she performs.  Although Sally and Clifford 
soon find themselves deeply in love, there is too much chaos in the 
world around them.  Since its debut "Cabaret" has consistently been 
one of the most popular musicals of all time.  This completely 
student organized production features a 21-member acting ensemble 
consisting entirely of University of Illinois students.  The 
production also features a 19-piece orchestra.

Among the music featured in the show are the songs "Cabaret," "Two 
Ladies," "Willkommen," and "Don't tell Mama."  The music and lyrics 
are by Joe Masteroff, John Kander and Fred Ebb.  The IUB version will 
be produced by Adam Cobb and directed by Jeff Dare.

The Illini Union Board was established in 1942, to provide cultural, 
educational, social, and recreational programs for the University and 
its surrounding communities.  It consists of 15 student and eight 
non-student members responsible for one of the largest programming 
organizations on campus.

"Cabaret" is presented through special arrangements with all 
authorized performance materials are supplied by Music Theater 
International, 421 W, 54th Street, new York, NY 10019.
