...murder, cross-dressing or "the girl"; they were reflections of their brilliantly duplicitous writer-director. And though his voice was caustically distinct, Wilder triumphed in a wide variety of genres. He made the sauciest farce (Some Like It Hot), the darkest film noir (Double Indemnity), the dearest romantic comedy (Sabrina) in Hollywood history--as well as the tartest evocation of Hollywood history (Sunset Blvd.).

...characters of Cabaret struggle with their present in light of a troubled future. It is only appropriate, then, that directors Sabrina K. Blum ’03 and Joy B. Fairfield ’03 would struggle with elements of time as well. Cabaret first debuted on Broadway in 1966, was reincarnated as a movie in 1972, and revived on Broadway by director Sam Mendes in 1998.

Expect a re-imagined production and an immensely talented, gorgeous cast...
...decided that Sheila, whose job provides the family's health benefits, would be the breadwinner and Bill would give up his business to stay home and care for the children. Over the past five years, Laut has diapered, clothed, fed and organized play dates for the couple's triplets: Sabrina, Grant and Austin...
