"Rent," at UConn's Connecticut Repertory Theatre could be more lively, more creative and better sung, but there are a few stand-out performances and a few welcome surprises.

The Players has announced the return of theatre for the young – and the young at heart – with The Emperor’s New Clothes, opening July 15th at 10:30am! Directed and choreographed by Ilyse Robbins, with music direction by Tim Goss, The Emperor’s New Clothes will be performed by the amazing Players’ Second Company.

The Players' stage comes roaring back to life with Cabaret, the daring, bold, and provocative classic musical, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff. This celebrated, show-stopping, musical masterpiece is the first mainstage Players' production to return indoors since February of 2020. Cabaret opens on Thursday, June 23rd and runs until Sunday, July 3rd.
