“Behind Closed Doors: A 2nd Class Cabaret” Opening Night Moved to July 15th
_________________________________________________________
Coming July 15th (previously scheduled for July 9th) to Your Theatre (643 S. Carondelet St. Los Angeles, CA) is “Behind Closed Doors: A 2nd Class Cabaret.” The show runs for eight nights (Fridays/Saturdays),
Price: $20.
Tickets can be purchased here
About the show: The show takes place in a dystopian, near-future society, where the movement for equal rights has taken a severe step backward, and people’s fundamental liberties have been further stripped away. The underground cabaret, where most of the action of the show occurs, is an oasis in a desert of intolerance – a place where people can freely be themselves. The story is dark and touching, with clever humor and burlesque elements throughout.
Inspiration: Director Peter Berube was inspired by the election of President Barack Obama as well as the passage of Proposition 8 in California.
Added Bonus: Our friend Aaron Beaumont, (who we’ve previously mentioned on this site) is the composer/lyricist for this show.
