The Resistance is fracturing.
One year after the populist Republic carried out the execution-style shooting of a journalist on the Cabaret’s main stage, Cabaret Rising tracks the Resistance after it retreats to the only safe haven left: the Dupont Underground. Sheltered in abandoned tunnels with grifters and ghosts, the movement is splintering under the weight of rumors of collusion, a rising radical faction and a brand-new threat–an outsider who can shut everything down with one wire transfer.

Cabaret Rising is a devised theatrical production. Without the passion, talent and contribution of every collaborator, both named and unnamed in this program, the show would not be possible. TBD Immersive is eternally grateful to all the talented artists, technicians, performers and volunteers who make our work possible. May Our Joy be an Act of Resistance!
