The short version

Ocean City Theatre Company's high school students are taking on a big one this month: "Cabaret."

The show

Students in grades 9 to 12 perform the musical, which has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and a book by Joe Masteroff. The story is set in Berlin in the 1920s and follows its characters as Germany moves toward the rise of the Third Reich. It deals with love, ambition and a changing world.

When

  • Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m.
  • Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m.

Where

Ocean City Music Pier, on the Boardwalk at Moorlyn Terrace.

Tickets

Tickets are sold at oceancitytheatrecompany.com. Prices weren't listed in the city's calendar, so check the theater company's site for current prices and seats.

A note for families

"Cabaret" deals with adult themes. Parents may want to read about the show before bringing younger kids.

About the company

Ocean City Theatre Company puts on shows at the Music Pier and runs theater programs for local students. Fall shows like this one are a good way to see the Music Pier off-season, when parking is easy and the Boardwalk is quiet.

More November dates

The 5K over the causeway is the same Saturday morning, so you can do both in one day. The city's full calendar of events lists the rest of the month.

Getting there

The Music Pier sits on the Boardwalk at Moorlyn Terrace, between 8th and 9th streets. Off-season parking downtown is usually easy, and the walk from Asbury Ave. is only a few blocks. If you're coming for both shows on the same weekend, there are plenty of places to eat downtown between them.

It's a chance to see some of the area's young performers on a real stage.
