"An Intimate Evening of Grand Parlour Magic" appears on our stage Septemner 13 at 8PM!


All season long, magic has been a part of Cape May Stage's Second Stage. During the summer months, special family oriented shows had children giggling and adults astounded. Now Michael Walsh and Johnny Mass have put together "An Intimate Evening of Grand Parlor Magic" on September 13 at 8PM. This is a more sophisticated evening that is geared towards adults. With charming glances and contagious smiles, Walsh and Mass will mystify minds with their brand of magical effects. Elegant diners have traveled to the Magic Kingdom in Hollywood for decades to witness this type of magical entertainment. It is one of the few places in Southern California where gentlemen are required to wear a tie! It is in this tradition that Grand Parlor Magic is produced - though at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse you can wear whatever you like! After all, this is still Cape May!


Lynn Cohen takes a break from "Happy Days" (which, taking on a role like this as an actress, is akin to climbing K2) on September 17 and we have brought internationally acclaimed Nora Armani to our stage for one night only! " On The Couch with Nora Armani" has been performed in Paris, London, Cairo, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Houston, Montreal and Geneva in both its English and French versions. Rave reviews follow each performance. Cairo in the 60's, Hollywood in the 80's, London in the 90's...with humor and nostalgia, she remembers the Bosphorus and Istanbul, now if she can just remember herself! Told through song and dance, this is a special night for Cape May audiences!


PNC Arts Alive is sponsoring an ASL sign-interpreted performance of Happy Days this weekend on September 11! An interpreter will be signing the performance for the deaf community. There is a reduced price Senior Night on Sunday, September 19! Again, these nights are all presented through the generosity of PNC’s Arts Alive mission to help area residents gain access to the arts, and help arts organizations expand and engage audiences!

Magic and world-class artists doing plays by Nobel Prize winners and internationally acclaimed artists are all on one stage. London? Paris? New York? No, it's Cape May Stage!

Tony Winner Karen Ziemba will enchant audiences on August 16 in one exclusive performance!



Tony Award winning actor, singer, dancer Karen Ziemba comes this Monday (August 16) to Cape May Stage as part of the popular Broadway Series! You may have seen Karen Ziemba when she starred on Broadway as Roxie Hart in "Chicago" or as Rita Racine in "Steel Pier" for which she received her first Tony Award nomination. She received another Tony Nomination for "Never
Gonna Dance" and won the Tony Award for Susan Stroman's production of "Contact" at Lincoln Center. Karen also appeared on Broadway in "A Chorus Line". Her first Broadway stage kiss was from Jerry Orbach in "Forty Second Street". She is seen frequently on television and in feature films and you can see her in the intimate Robert Shackleton Playhouse where the furthest seat is seven rows away. Your ticket also admits you to a special "after-party" at the Washington Inn Wine Bar with haute cuisine hors' d'oevres passed as you mingle with the star and her accompanist! These tickets are only $50 for the performance and the party!



The final two weeks of "Romance/Romance" are upon us! This sold-out hit continues to wow audiences with a stellar cast of Broadway veterans. Patrons at the theatre can't stop talking about the elegant production that starts in turn of the century Vienna and ends up in the Hamptons which looks a good deal like Cape May! We all need a little romance in our lives. Walking down the narrow winding streets of our little town and stopping at one of our fabulous restaurants before going to the theatre is a lovely way to have a romantic evening with your special someone. "Dinner-and-a show" is an affordable way to make that romantic night even more enjoyable. Visit capemaystage.com to see the participating restaurants and make a reservation right now!

Soon the highly anticipated return of Lynn Cohen in Samuel Beckett's "Happy Days" will be opening on the main stage. This play looks at a long-term relationship through the eyes of the most celebrated writer of the twentieth century. As we head into fall, we gear up for more challenging fare from this Nobel Prize winning writer! Get your dose of romance now and have your very soul touched later! Cape May Stage brings every aspect of theatrical experience to its stage!
