Gone are the days when life was simple and social guidance films let young people know what was expected of their lives. But the Milburn Stone Theatre is here to help! A helpful narrator shares with our audience the marriage joys and woes of Abby and Mason, and Danny and Ruth, as they navigate from dating to marriage, wedding night, children, and more. As time goes on and the roles of men and women change, our narrator struggles with our couples on how exactly to maintain a successful marriage. If you are or ever have been married, thought about getting married, known someone who was married, or heard the word marriage, this hilarious new comedy is for you!
SEEKING:ABBY LAWRENCE, a bride of 18. There is something about her beauty that you instantly sympathize with.
MASON LAWRENCE, JR, her husband of 18. He was the most popular boy in school.
SHERYL HOWARD, her older sister, 25. She knows that she isn't as pretty as her sister.
DOROTHY PECK, her mother, late 40s. She hasn't progressed as fast as the world around her has.
DANIEL HENRY, an 18-year-old groom. A child prodigy with eyeglasses.
RUTH GUNDLEY, his 25-year-old bride. She's slightly manipulative and the only child of a millionaire.
BRUNHILDE HENRY, his mother, mid-50s. She was born in Germany, and you can tell. (Also plays Ellen in final scene.)
HENRY HENRY, his father, late 50s. He lived in Germany even longer, and you can tell. (Also plays Doctor and Dr. Osborne.)
MICHAEL HENRY, his brother, 21. Very good-looking, very Aryan, and a constant failure. (Also plays Jeremy in the final scene.)
EVELYN HENRY, Danny and Ruth's daughter. Sweet and innocent.
NARRATOR, a la the voiceover narrators of those 1950s public service announcements and social guidance films. He is the opposite of a Victorian child: only heard and never seen.

Wilcommen to Cabaret! The Kit Kat Club in 1930s Berlin is home to our entertainment for the evening: our host, the smarmy emcee, Sally Bowles, keeping moving, keeping dancing, doesn't stand still too long; and Cliff, the American who falls in love with Sally despite her profession, but can't love her as long as she keeps it. As the Nazi powers build, loyalty is everything. Who do you trust? What is stronger, love or country? Or fame? Life is a Cabaret!
