“Also, Welcome to Berlin!”

⭐️🎭 Cabaret🍍⭐️
Words cannot describe how honored I am to have been apart this show. From having Cabaret as my first collegiate production, to playing the role of Fräulein Schneider, to working with this insanely talented cast and crew, being able to learn and grow so much as an actor, and being able to tell this impactful story. The entire process was a whirl wind, but I have loved every minute of it. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this show together and all who came to support it. I hope everybody truly took the meaning of this show to heart. Auf Wiedersehen 💛

where are your troubles now?💋

The Kit Kat Klub has officially closed and what an absolute honor it has been to not only be a part of this legendary musical, but to help truthfully represent the horrid past of our world. Being in Cabaret has helped me grow as an artist and individual. I always pride myself on being someone who uses my platform and art to raise awareness and amplify unheard voices and now I much more deeply understand how truly detrimental it is to be complacent as a community and society and only take action when the harm is inflicted upon you or a community you belong to. We MUST educate ourselves, educate our peers, educate our loved ones, and go further and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I extend so much gratitude and have the utmost respect for my director, Rachel Dawson (@rachelwdawson ) for seeing me, this cast, this story, and pursuing it. You helped make such an impact in just 5 weeks and the work you produced was so complex and beautiful. Special thanks to this perfectly marvelously talented cast for lending your voices, bodies, and overall presence to such a piece. Thank you to the crew for your insanely hard work during every second of the show. Thank you to the creative team for your dedication to making sure this story was told efficiently and keeping us grounded through it all. I thank each and every one of you for your love and support during this time and not a single ounce of it goes unnoticed or unappreciated. Continue to shine, tell these stories, and remember…”Relax, loosen up, be yourself”⭐️

"You see some people have two people 😏"
What a way to start my Winthrop journey. I was so blessed to be able to work with the cast and crew to put on this beautifully devastating story. Playing lulu gave me such a new perspective on not everything being how it seems. Cabaret is a show that will stick with me for life because of how much care and attention to detail was put into this wonderful production. Cabaret teaches you the danger of being a passive bystander and the cause of it. It teaches you how willfully being ignorant eventually falls back on it. Instead of sitting by be the change that you want to see in the world. Thank you Cabaret for all of the lessons and joy you brought me.

Cabaret 👠🎩✨🍍🥂🍸🎭🪭🎙️

What an absolute pleasure it was to have the privilege of working on such an incredible show with such amazing people. So much talent and effort went into bringing this show to life, and I am so proud of everyone who poured their soul out on stage.

This was such an incredibly powerful and impactful show that was absolutely devastating for everyone involved. It was so crucial that every facet of this show be portrayed as truthfully as it possibly could, which was of course such a challenge for everyone. We put everything we had into this show and I am so happy with the way everything turned out. I truly hope we managed to touch the hearts of everyone who came and saw the show.

To everyone involved in the creation of this show: thank you so much for such an amazing experience. It was absolutely remarkable working with each and every one of you to tell this incredible story. I will cherish the memories from this process forever, and it has truly been an honor bringing this show to life.

To everyone who came to see us: thank you for your incredible support. Thank you for laughing and crying and cheering alongside us all. Thank you for giving us a platform to share something so important.

Never forget that tomorrow belongs to each and every one of us.

Auf wiedersehen 💋

“Welcome to Berlin!”
Cabaret, my dream show, has closed. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to tell this story. Cabaret is a tragedy, but also a celebration of diversity and culture. I hope everyone who came along for the ride had a good time while they could. I also hope this show has inspired some of you to look more into what happened in Germany during the 1930s through the 40s. It is not something that is done justice in the education system or media. Through the process of playing Ernst Ludwig, it became ever more prevalent how insane it is that we ever let these events happen. We can never let anything like that happen again, and it is solely up to us, the people, to do everything in our power to stop it. This show gives everyone a strong warning: even if you are living in peace, you can never turn a blind eye to the injustice around you. I hope this sticks with you.

I would like to first thank the people who came to see the show. The warning this show has is rudimentary if there are not people to be warned. Thank you for multiple sold out shows, and (mostly) reacting the way you needed to. I would like to thank the cast and orchestra. Being in this show was already a dream, but to do it with some of the best performers I have ever met only made it more impactful. Thank you everyone for doing the show justice. Finally, I would like to thank the crew. The crew’s work was just as impactful as the actors, and their dedication was felt on stage. Thank you Rachel Dawson, the stage managers, the designers, and the rest of the backstage crew for letting this story be told.
Thank you thank you thank you everyone.
