"Visiting Mr. Green" closes! Rehearsals begin for "Proof"!


Music is all over Cape May - in the bars and restaurants - and the schools and churches all over town. Two time Tony Award winner Michael Starobin has composed music especially for Cape May Stage's production of "Visiting Mr. Green". This is the last week to see this extraordinary production. Aside from the amazing music, many people have said this is the best production to have ever been on our stage. The actors are so believable that they don't appear to be acting. Great conversations about the play are happening all over town. The playwright came and said this was among his favorite productions of a play that has been performed all over the world. Don't miss it!

New music is being composed by Will Knapp for our newest production of "Proof". Roy Steinberg met with Will Knapp in the offices above Martini Beach to give direction about the tone of the music between the scenes. The cast just arrived and is settling into town as they rehearse and discover this newest play to be on our stage. "Proof" won the Pulitzer prize for drama and was made into a popular film. This production previews on September 30 and opens on October 1 with an after party at Carney's. Before "Mr. Green" closes, don't forget Thursday, September 24 is a pay-what-you-can-night sponsored by PNC Arts Alive.

Again, a cast of Broadway veterans appears on Cape May Stage. This is a play that is funny and dramatic. It deals with families and notions of what makes a person sane. The set is spectacular and the level of acting just keeps growing with every production.

Coming in October will be a lecture about leadership using the book "Shackleton's Way" as a jumping off point. Later in the month on October 19 a poetry reading will occur.

Stay tuned!
