This year’s summer reading program is full of fun and food, games and prizes – but what about the books? Not to worry, we still have scads of those, too! Summer in the City just wouldn’t be complete without great reads to jog your mind on these lazy days. A trip around the world is waiting for you within one of these books!

See it here first! Catch a glimpse of the show before it hits the stage. Come to the Cabaret! Lawrence Arts Center Summer Youth Theater presents this Broadway favorite.

Based on the John Van Druten play, “I am a Camera,” this fascinating musical explores the effect of the rise of Nazi Germany on the lives of everyday people. Directed by Diana Dresser with choreography by Barb Wasson.
