A Day in the Life of a Stage Manager at Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club
Alum Lou Williams is currently working on the Broadway production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club as one of 6 stage managers, the highest number of stage managers currently working on a Broadway production. The reason for this increase is the addition of a “Prologue” performance to the scripted Cabaret. The Prologue is an immersive pre-show experience for audience members with a complete cast outside of the main show cast. Due to the interactive nature of the Prologue, stage managers are required to walk around following and protecting both performers and the audience alike.
Playbill published an article highlighting the stage managers of this remarkable production, including Lou Williams. You can read the full article here: A Day in the Life of a Stage Manager at Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.
