CABARET – Rehearsals begin for Rogue Swans Cabaret in September…

Jul 24, 2026

September is fas approaching and Rogue Swan is in full rehearsal mode for CABARET at the Star Center in town late September. Tickets are on sale here: https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/82844469/rogue-swan-theatre-company-presentscabaret-havre-de-grace-the-star-centre

I do like to help out by posting rehearsal images as things progress – but another reason I keep up with the exhausting schedule is that by show date I have to be familiar enough with the pacing, framing, etc. that I can anticipate and be ready for actual show pictures. Rogue keeps the color exposures for internal uses while I morph favorites into b&w’s.

In this first short rehearsal, Jarett Rettman - musical director - is working with cast members who will be singing a couple of the numbers. How he manages to single out and assess individual voices with all of them singing, I have no idea. No great imagery, but they give some idea of work that goes on behind the scenes in the early stages. All performances are different to shoot – in one way I’m also rehearsaing…

And again, what would we do without the support of Concord Point Coffee in offering the use of their game, music, meeting, etc. room.

I’m three rehearsals behing on posting these, had to wait until Rogue was ready. So the first three will come rather quickly.
