The Cabaret Company

Cabaret Company was founded in the spring of 1997 after Sky Gilbert resigned as Artistic Director of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. The Cabaret Company is dedicated to presenting social engaging queer themed work and to the development and support of queer artists. By opening the doors to young artists to create in a queer positive atmosphere, it is my hope that they will begin not to just feel free to be themselves, but to create work that has queer content and that pushes the boundaries of traditional theatre practice. Theatres like Tarragon, Soulpepper, and Canadian Stage present world-class respected literature by mainstream-approved authors, drawn from the traditional canon of new and old works. In contrast, the work of Cabaret Company achieves its immediacy and danger in varied ways, sometimes by knocking down the fourth wall and at other times by presenting pro-sexual content without judgment. Ultimately, the work doesn’t resemble “literature” or “drama”. It is alive, breathing, and at times a little scary. The Cabaret company is supported with operating grants from The Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council, and occasionally with project grants from the Canada Council.
