Content Warning & Age Recommendation​

Film noir often features morally ambiguous characters, cynical and disillusioned attitudes, a sense of pessimism, fatalism, and death. Our show is a poetic and humorous take on these elements and includes toy guns and fake cigarettes. Our age recommendation is 9 and up. For younger kids we recommend parental discretion.

Cabaret Noir Newsroom 2 - Sabrina Mandell_Sarah Olmsted Thomas_Alex Vernon_Gwen Grastorf -

"...Those who love Film Noir will be delighted, those who don't care for it will be charmed and amused, and those who don't know about it will never hereafter be able to take it seriously. A glimmer of story, a hatful of characters, a whisper of atmosphere, a smorgasbord of music and a scent of mystery."

"All of the role-juggling performers prove themselves to be adepts of the deadpan, the sidelong glance, the freeze and the pregnant pause."
