On Stage This Weekend

   Four great shows to catch this weekend, including:

- Cabaret - ARTS presents the hit musical that is full of comic and entertaining moments, but is set against a very dark and serious background: Nazi Germany. The setting is a cabaret, and the story centers around three major characters: Sally Bowles, Cliff Bradshaw, and a comic narrator type called the M.C. It is a story that embraces love, tragedy, hardship, persecution, satire, frolic and sensuality. The observer will experience both laughter and shock. It is a totally engaging evening of music, comedy and provocative thought. The musical will be presented in the Renaissance Ballroom at 900 8th St., Huntington at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 8-9.

- Almost, Maine - Company of Dreams presents the play set on a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, where all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend - almost - in this delightful midwinter night's dream. Performances are Feb. 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. at the Hillside Community Church in Ashland. Admission is $5, all of which goes to charity. 

- The Emperor's New Clothes - ACT (Actors for Children Theatre) presents the classic tale Saturday, Feb. 9 at 1 p.m. at the Greenup Co. Extension Office at Wurtland Avenue in Wurtland Ky. Admission is free!

- Perfect Wedding - Blazer Theatre presents Robin Hawdon's romantic comedy. Come see what happens when the groom wakes up the morning of his wedding with a girl who isn't his bride-to-be. The play will be presented Feb. 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 10 at 2:30 p.m. at Paul Blazer High School’s Millennium Center. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students and seniors.
   So get out there and support your local theatre!
