director’s notes

W illkommen im Cabaret!While Cabaret has evolved through several revisions and revivals since it debuted on Broadway in 1966, it is more

relevant than ever in today’s world. Based on a series of short stories about life in pre-WWII Berlin

by Christopher Isherwood, and a 1951 play I am a Camera by John Van Druten, Cabaret has been revised several times with updated dialogue, music and songs.

With the latest revision’s script, music and interpretation, today’s Cabaret more accurately reflects the lives of artists, writers and enter-tainers in rowdy, free-spirited 1929 Berlin at the end of the Weimar Republic, as growing German nationalism gave way to the Nazi Party.

Germany suffered through a terrible depression and severe restrictions imposed after WWI by the Treaty of Versailles. In 1933, conservative German parliament leaders elected a bombastic nation-alist politician, Adolph Hitler, who promised a New Order and greater Germany, as Chancellor. He quickly became Führer a year later. In the name of rising nationalism, his repressive Nazi regime began crushing and eliminating everything that was not purely German — starting with Jews, LGTBQs, intellectuals, writers, enter-tainers and others — eventually leading to WWII and the Holocaust.

Along with entertaining music and dance, Cabaret also has a dark side reminding us that history repeats itself if we don’t pay attention. Repressive, nationalistic regimes are evident throughout today’s world. White nationalism is on the rise here at home. The metaphor of Cabaret shines a light on what can happen if, as Cliff says at the end of the play, “… and I was dancing with Sally Bowles and we were both fast asleep.”

We send our personal thanks to our anonymous Cabaret show sponsors, “Duchess & Munchkin” for their generous support. We know you love Cabaret as much as we do, and that Pentacle’s previous production in 1992 holds a special spot in your heart and ours alike. Thank you.

For Nicholas, there is nothing more magical than that moment, right as the lights go down, and the crowd is waiting in silence with anticipation for

the show to begin. It’s a moment full of hope, and full of possibilities. He’d like to thank the audience for coming, and for believing, as he does, that there is nothing more important or special as live theater.

The fund, established in memory of Bill and Phyllis Cross, honors these two individu-als who were awarded Pentacle Theatre’s highest honor of lifetime membership. While at Pentacle Theatre and during Phyllis’s career as a high school drama teacher, the Crosses served as mentors and role models, inspiring those around them in performing and technical theater arts.

Jo Dodge, also a Pentacle Theatre lifetime member, has acted and directed in numer-ous Pentacle Theatre productions, taught acting workshops at the theater through Chemeketa Community College since 1981, and shared her love of theater with hun-dreds of Pentacle Theatre volunteers for more than 30 years.

The technical arts scholarship is awarded in honor of Tony Zandol, lifetime member and Pentacle Theatre’s former resident designer and professional production director. In addition to his work with Pentacle Theatre, Tony has worked with Children’s Educational Theatre.

The late Tom Ulmer was a tireless creator and educator of theatrical arts at Pentacle Theatre, Children’s Educational Theatre, and in the Salem-Keizer School District. Tom was a lifetime member whose memory Pentacle Theatre honors by awarding scholarship funds to a student who overcomes obstacles to give extraordinary time and effort to be involved in theater.

H ow many people does it take to make one Pentacle Theatre show possible? The answer may surprise you. Pentacle has only a handful of paid staff. We count on volunteers to

make each production possible.On April 25, Ed and Susan Schoaps, directors for Cabaret, had

the following remarkable insights:

“We just did some rough math, and for every person onstage in the cast and orchestra, there are 3+ people supporting them backstage, in the booth and on spotlights, on the production team, creating costumes, hair and makeup, choreographing and directing music and vocals, stage managing, house managing, working hos-pitality, providing publicity and photos, creating the program, selling tickets, run-ning the admin side of our theater, serving on the governing board, and gener-ously but anonymously sponsoring our beautiful show.

“Also, we have held more than 100 hours of rehearsals for cast and orchestra so far, with about 70 hours more of rehearsals and previews to go before opening night! Counting 16 people in the cast, 10 in the orchestra, plus our table staff, it’s over 1,000 volunteer hours and counting so far, and we are a little over four weeks from opening night!”

The amount of time and energy that goes into each production is astounding. It takes many contributors—onstage and off—from volunteers and staff alike. We have strived to create and sustain an environment that fosters and supports new talent and volunteers while embracing those who have already given so much to our theater.

In 2017: • 69 actors made their Pentacle Theatre debuts• 116 volunteers worked behind the scenes on our productions, helping with

costuming, sets, makeup, and lighting• 170 more amazing volunteers worked in so many areas to make Pentacle great.

More than 350 people working together each year to make this theater hum. Thank you for being here to appreciate and enjoy the gift of theater that we have the privilege to share.

George Orwell depicts with great power the horrors of man’s fate in a soci-ety where Big Brother is always watching—where everything that is not prohibited is compulsory. A powerful and provocative look at a dystopian

future where “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”Jenni Bertels is directing Pentacle Theatre’s production of 1984, with the help of

assistant director David Cristobal. The cast includes Ally Chancellor, Nolan Good, Deborah Johansen, Montana Langford, Emily Loberg, Steven Marik, Elizabeth Ming, Lance Nuttman, Jason Ramey, Ryan Snyder, Teresa Waite, and Marco Zetino.

1984 opens on Friday, July 6, and plays through Saturday, July 28. Tickets are available at the Pentacle Theatre ticket office located at 145 Liberty St. NE in down-town Salem or online at pentacletheatre.org. For more informa tion, contact the Pentacle Theatre ticket office at 503-485-4300. 1984 is made possible by the generous sponsor-ship of Glantz Law Group, LLC.

“I do not believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something resembling it could arrive. The moral to be drawn from the dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”

—George Orwell, 1949
