Open University of Wellfleet

Kander and Ebb: Life is a Cabaret! (on Zoom)

$60.00

Instructor: Marc Strauss

Time: Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Location: On Zoom

Dates: October 18, 25, November 1, 8, 15.

John Kander (b. 1927) and Fred Ebb (1928 – 2004) were a power duo of songwriters for over 50 years, penning tunes to Broadway shows and Hollywood and television films as diverse and provocative as Cabaret (1966/1972), Chicago (1975/2002), Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993), Liza with a Z! (1972), The Scottsboro Boys (2010), and many others. The two couldn’t have been more different: Kander remains, at 96, the midwestern sentimentalist composer, Ebb the sardonic and biting New Yorker. Somehow their differences gelled, and even if you don’t know them by name, their songs are etched in our hearts and minds: “Theme from New York, New York,” “Cabaret,” “Maybe This Time,” “All That Jazz,” and “A Quiet Thing” are just a few that you may recognize. 

Marc Strauss will provide historical context and lead discussion on many of their biggest hits as well as fascinating unknown tunes, presenting CD and DVD songs and dances from their entire canon of works in chronological order. Come relive the majesty of Kander and Ebb or, if you’re new to their work, experience for the first time why life is a cabaret! 

Open University of Wellfleet at WHAT

Isherwood and the Makings of Sally Bowles

$60.00

Instructors: John Dennis Anderson and John Shuman

Time: Location: Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre (WHAT)

Dates: Classes from 1-3 p.m. on Oct. 16, 23, 30, Nov, 6

Screenings from 1-3 p.m. on Oct. 20, 27, Nov. 3, Nov. 10.

The writer Christopher Isherwood is best known for creating Sally Bowles, a self-dramatizing cabaret singer in 1930s Berlin, whom he based on his friend Jean Ross. A classic avatar of the “manic pixie dream girl” trope, Sally Bowles first appeared in one of Isherwood’s autobiographical stories that was later dramatized by his friend John van Druten in the successful play I Am a Camera. The play was then adapted as the John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Cabaret. This course will explore the evolution of Sally Bowles over the course of these works into the widely recognizable symbol of “divine decadence” embodied by Julie Harris on stage and Liza Minnelli on screen. These various incarnations of Sally Bowles and her relationships reflect shifting representations of homosexuality, abortion, and anti-Semitism in literature and popular culture. The Monday classes will discuss readings of Isherwood’s story “Sally Bowles,” his 1976 memoir Christopher and His Kind, John van Druten’s play, and the Kander and Ebb musical, while on Fridays the class will watch various screen versions. All classes will be held from 1 to 3 pm at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater.
