Cape May Stage Keeps the Entertainment Strong in the 2011 Second Stage Series

Dave Konig appears on June 6, 8PM.
Liz Callaway will appear July 18
After Brad Zimmerman had us laughing in the aisles a week ago, the Second Stage builds on that hilarity to bring back Dave Konig on June 6th in The Further Adventures of A Hebrew School Dropout.  Dave Konig was so popular we had to turn away forty people last season!  He is back in a totally new show.  With "Say Goodnight Gracie" playing on the main stage, we continue to bring twenty first century versions of George Burns to our stage.  The following week (on June 13) two comics (Aaron & Nick) are coming to keep the momentum going in An Evening of Stand Up.  All of these comedy shows are at 8PM on Monday nights.  Tickets can be reserved online at capemaystage.com or by calling 884-1341!


There are little over two weeks left to see "Say Goodnight, Gracie" with Joel Rooks who played George Burns on Broadway.  Besides being a poignant love story and filled with hilarious anecdotes about the life of George Burns, this is a play about survival.  Burns and Allen survived the death of vaudeville to become stars of radio and talking pictures and that new invention called television.  There is an audible gasp when Joel Rooks is first revealed as George Burns.  The archival footage and Gracie voice-overs are from the Broadway production, as well.  Playwright Rupert Holmes was nominated for a Tony Award in the Broadway production.  See it here for a third of what you would pay in New York.  Look at our "Dinner-and-a Show" options and save still more!


The actors for Theresa Rebeck's "The Understudy" will be arriving from New York next week to begin rehearsals for the next main stage production.  Cape May Stage is a whirlwind of activity!   Once July arrives, the “Women of Broadway Series” kicks into high gear with Liz Callaway, Maureen McGovern and Tovah Feldshuh.
