Set almost one hundred years ago\, Berlin speaks to our current moment\, and our future\, with undeniable urgency. \nEstimated Maximum Show Only Ticket Cost – $71.50\n(possible discount if we get 10 or more attendees) \nDinner and transportation to and from the theatre\, as always\, will be optional features of our evening! \nPlanning on coming?
