Stephen Sondheim's 'Passion'
From the event description:
1863, Italy: In a remote military outpost, a handsome army captain, separated from his beautiful (but married) mistress, is forced to re-evaluate his thoughts on love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly cousin. From the brilliant mind of Stephen Sondheim ("Sweeney Todd," "Into the Woods") comes this emotionally charged chamber musical, which has steadily earned a reputation as one of Sondheim’s most deeply emotional works. Intimate and erotic, it explores the line between love and obsession, power and manipulation.
When: Wednesday, July 3, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Custom Made Theatre, 533 Sutter St., floor 2

'Cabaret'
From the event description:
Cliff Bradshaw, an American author working on a novel in pre-World War II Berlin, falls in love with the vivacious Sally Bowles, a singer at the local Kit Kat Klub. Their dreamlike romance is tested by the political upheaval that changes their lives dramatically. Even after 50 years, this classic, Tony Award-winning musical remains painfully prophetic, reminding us through Sally and the Emcee’s lost souls what horrors humans are capable of, lest we ever forget.
When: Friday, July 5, 8 p.m.
Where: San Francisco Playhouse, 450 Post St., floor 2
