McLennan Community College and the MCC Foundation announce the MCC Hearts in the Arts Scholarship Gala on Saturday, Feb. 28, featuring the McLennan Theatre performance of the award-winning musical “Cabaret.”
Patrons will begin their Gala experience with a 6 p.m. cocktail buffet at the Steinbeck Bend-area home of Don and Carol Behringer, just minutes from the MCC campus, followed by the theatre performance at 8 p.m. in MCC’s Ball Performing Arts Center. A lavish dessert reception with the cast and crew will conclude the evening. Tickets are $50 per person and proceeds benefit MCC scholarships.
Cabaret” transports the audience to the Kit Kat Klub, a 1930s Berlin hideaway where Sally Bowles and “the Emcee” lead their fellow cabaret artists through nightly musical escapades spiced with political satire. But the impending Nazi domination looms large as friends and strangers live wild and close their eyes to a world gone mad. “Cabaret” debuted on Broadway in 1966 and experienced two Broadway revivals; it has won 12 Tony and four Drama Desk awards.
Seating is limited, and reservations will not be accepted after Feb. 23. For more information, contact the MCC Foundation at 299-8604 or rdeleon@mclennan.edu.
