UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance presents Flora the Red Menace, the first musical written by John Kander and Fred Ebb, the Tony Award-winning creators of Cabaret and Chicago. Set in 1935, the government-funded Federal Theater Project gathers a group of performers to tell the story of optimistic Flora Meszaros, a fashion illustrator in Manhattan, who falls in love with Harry, an artist. But her beloved turns out to be an idealistic communist. Is Flora herself a “red menace” or just a girl in love?
