Only 2 Weeks left of "Souvenir"!! (Don't miss this special one-night only event) Catherine Wolf: "On Becoming" opens in Cape May, NJ - June 15


There is an energy and excitement on the corner of Lafayette Street and Bank Street where a grey building with red shutters that used to house a church now explodes with laughter. Some people have seen "Souvenir" multiple times and have commented on how much they love the performances and notice the nuances they may have missed the first time around. Dave Clemens exclaimed "the best two hours I have spent in this building" and audiences routinely give standing ovations during the curtain call. When audience members fill out comment cards the words they use are "outstanding", "excellent", "hilarious" and "the best theatre experience I have had". There are only two weeks left to see this opening production of the season. The actors are honing their craft and finding new moments to explore with every audience. On Friday, June 12 Cape May Stage presents a special Senior Night where tickets are half price for seniors. There is nothing like hearing trained artists in an intimate venue like Cape May Stage.

To compliment "Souvenir", Cape May Stage is presenting Catherine Wolf in "On Becoming" on Monday, June 15. "Souvenir" tells the story of Florence Foster Jenkins who sold out Carnegie Hall despite her inability to sing on key. Catherine Wolf comes from a musical family and (though she is an accomplished singer) she opted to be the only member of her family not to pursue a musical career. Her Uncle Boris Goldovsky, was heard on the radio for thirty years discussing opera during the intermissions of the Metropolitan Opera Broadcast. Her grandmother was Lea Luboshutz who was brought to the United States by Sol Hurok to feature as a violinist. Her great aunt and uncle were world famous duo pianists (Pierre Luboshutz and Genia Nemenoff) and this delightful play shows all of these family members through the eyes of a little girl as she grows through her music lessons to adulthood. "On Becoming" is directed by Jack Gindi and features Paul Trueblood on the piano. Audiences in New York have loved this play and Cape May Stage is delighted to present this evening to our theatre community!
