5th ANNUAL CABARET MACABRE

Cabaret Macabre is a series of dark, comic vignettes, songs and physical comedy inspired by Edward Gorey, Victorian nightmares, dangerous croquet, gothic romance, afternoon tea and perils of the deep. It features music played live and Happenstance Theater’s witty, visual theatrical collage. It was nominated for 3 Helen Hayes Awards. The Washington Post says, “Cabaret Macabre” often looks like a Gorey illustration brought to life.”  The Washington City Paper calls it “ghoulishly gratifying” and says “it’s a wonderfully imagined, expertly choreographed meditation on a theme"

Featuring Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Karen Hansen, Gwen Grastorf, Sarah Olmsted Thomas and Alex Vernon
