A story worth telling begins — March 28, 2026.
Cabaret is Pensacola Little Theatre’s most anticipated annual fundraising event, an immersive, adults-only theatrical experience that transforms our historic theatre into a world of wonder, performance, and possibility.
This year’s theme, Storybook Soirée, invites guests and sponsors alike to step inside a living story, one that directly supports local arts, education, and community programming.
2026 Theme: Storybook Soirée — Once Upon a Night…
For one enchanted evening, Pensacola Little Theatre becomes a living storybook—where every room opens a new chapter inspired by classic fairy tales, literary legends, and childhood favorites.
Storybook Soirée blends whimsical design with elevated sophistication, creating a night that feels nostalgic, immersive, and unforgettable.
Open the book. Enter the magic.
Step into the greatest story as you wind your way through bands, DJs, dance floors, flash mobs, aerialists, ballerinas, singers, dancers, art installations, projectionists, delicious delights, craft cocktails, and beyond – transforming the theatre and surrounding block into an indoor/outdoor entertainment complex.
Recent Cabaret themes include Cabaret: Express Yourself, Cabaret Off Broadway, Cabaret on Holiday, Phantom of the Cabaret, ColorMeCabaret, and Midnight in Paris. Like those recent years, Cabaret: Story Book Soiree splits the party room by room to experience a different form of art that then culminates into one colorful blank canvas at the end of an evening you’ll never forget.
Tickets for the creative carouse are $150, and the all-inclusive experience features six open-bar venues and culinary art.
Art Becomes the life of the party
Cabaret puts our mission front and center to celebrate and showcase the diverse array of art created within the walls of The Clark Family Cultural Center by a variety of talent volunteers.

Each year, the theme changes – though the purpose behind the party stays the same. Cabaret fuses local talent and celebration to showcase art as the life of the party.
By putting our art front and center, Cabaret immerses you into the very mission of Pensacola Little Theatre in one creative carouse. Because of your support, PLT offers community volunteers the opportunity to express themselves freely through diverse theatrical productions, an array of accessible arts education programs, and community outreach in local school systems to foster self-confidence, collaboration, perspective, and public speaking tools to help children find their voice.
Thank you to our 2025 sponsors
