Laughter’s necessity: ‘Cabaret’ performs Wednesday

Sometimes the best antidote for seemingly unsolvable problems is simple laughter.

Which Way The Wind Festival presents: BURLESQUE, COMEDY AND SONG: THE WHICH WAY THE WIND CABARET Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. at Synapsis, 1675 Union St., Eureka.

This production features Larry Crist, Bob Morse, Wendy Butler, Mike Murdock, Arnold Waddell and Bernadette Cheyne. Live piano accompaniment is provided by Ryan McGaughey.

This show mixes classic plays with a generous helping of songs (remember Tom Lehrer?).

War? Nuclear threats? Pollution? Government? Truths versus lies? Heavy, huh?

There are times when it is necessary to just laugh and get on with it.

John Heckel directs this production.

“Sometimes the issues surrounding a potential nuclear fiasco become so outlandishly real our only viable reaction is laughter.,” says Heckel. “Arguments made for nuclear deterrent strategies become so painfully absurd our only remedy is revolutionary collective humor. “
