Cabaret: Using ‘art as protest’ at Cottage Theatre

COTTAGE GROVE – In a bold artistic endeavor that intertwines entertainment and activism, Cottage Theatre’s production of “Cabaret” captivates audiences with its haunting portrayal of love and defiance amidst the rise of fascism.

Set in 1931 in Berlin during a turbulent political era, the play is a semi-autobiographical novel about Christopher Isherwood, an English and American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, autobiographer, and diarist who died in 1989.
