The Thetford Academy Performing Arts Department is proud to present the Tony Award-winning musical Cabaret, a bold and provocative production set in 1930s Berlin at the famed Kit Kat Club.

The Farm to School Team—which includes Sean Meghegan (School Nutrition Manager), Kate Reimanis (Garden Coordinator), Gretchen Czaja (PE & Health), and Kim...
