Wilkommen!

In 1939, Christopher Ishwerwood published Goodbye to Berlin, a story of his experiences and observations in Berlin before Hitler's rise to power. In 1951, John Van Druten adapted this story into a play that he called I Am A Camera, and in 1966 the musical Cabaret was born. This website, created by the dramaturgs of THEA 265: Introduction to Dramaturgy, explores everything there is to know about Cabaret from its conception to now.
