The country was on the brink of joining the 1st World War, militant factions were active across our country, in fact a local anarchist group accidentally blew up a police precinct killing half the cops on duty, Mayor Hoan kept two body guards on his payroll in light of near daily death threats, and he even had a political arch nemesis by the name of Wheeler P. Bloodgood who was rumored to employ intimidation tactics for his political ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/QHyaAOQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/QHyaAOQ.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our shows are more than just a play, you could say they&#8217;re a play within a play or more precise: a radio play within a radio show. We have always modeled our productions after the old radio variety programs of the 30&#8217;s &amp; 40&#8217;s complete with a host, house band, jingle singers, period comedy, and real news updates pulled straight from the old headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show runs November 7,8 14,15 &amp; 21,22 at the Astor Hotel. All shows start at 7:pm with live pre-show music beginning when the doors open at 6:30. Tickets can be purchased online by searching for Cabaret MKE on BrownPaperTickets.com. Tickets are $25, senior and student discounted tickets can be reserved via e-mail at <a href=\"mailto:cabareMKE@gmail.com\">cabaretMKE@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cabaret MKE opens it&#8217;s 5th theater season with an original work titled, &#8220;Cream City Crime Syndicate: Politics &amp; Anarchy.&#8221; The story indeed takes us back to Milwaukee&#8217;s socialist heyday with the election of Mayor Daniel Hoan.
