Hi Dwain,

I do not know cabaret, except in a largely non-computer-related fashion. 
;-))

However as a general rule, anything that you can print, you can also 
print to pdf in Linux. Ubuntu is not exception to the rule.

You might want to install the cups-pdf package, should you not have it 
installed.

also see here:

Also it is somewhat outdated, I think it still applies

kind regards
Eberhard
