After 39 years of providing glamorous cabaret and incredible entertainment, Drehleier Theater is no ordinary place to spend an evening.

The repertoire involves musicals, burlesque, cabaret and comedy, while the on-site restaurant also has exquisite cuisine and hosts regular food nights that allow visitors to indulge the taste buds while watching a show.
