That’s a wrap on Cabaret!

What an incredible summer it has been. As the curtain closes on Cabaret, we’re celebrating the many people who brought this production to life.

A special thank you to our director, Lisa Dove; choreographer, Karen Palmen; Greg Paul and Finn Paul for sets; Everett Parker and Brian Ahart for lighting and tech; Scott Guidry for the pit orchestra; and Sarah Kaufenberg, Ezra Vrieze, and Shari Emerson for sharing their time and talents.

To our incredible cast and crew, volunteers, NLOC Board and Production Directors, Armory Arts & Events Center, community partners, donors, friends, and supporters, thank you. And a special gratitude to Paul and Pat, whose vision helped create NLOC 25 years ago and made seasons like this possible.

And, of course, thank you to our audiences for filling the Armory, supporting the arts, and sharing this experience with us.

It takes a community to bring a production like this to the stage, and we are so grateful for ours.
