Tovah Feldshuh Takes the Stage August 8th & "Steel Magnolias" opens August 3!

The Women of Broadway Series builds to an extraordinary finish at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse on Monday, August 8th with the legendary Tovah Feldshuh. Internationally acclaimed artists appearing in our intimate venue is only part of the reason that Cape May Stage is now the topic of conversation among savvy theatre-goers across the country.

Tovah Feldshuh is premiering a new work called Aging Is Optional and Cape May Stage patrons will see it before anyone else.  Once again, our patrons have the opportunity to meet the artist after the show at the Wine Bar of The Washington Inn where your ticket gets you a complimentary signature drink.  Tovah Feldshuh is a multiple Tony Award nominee and holds the record for performing in the longest running one-woman show in Broadway history.  See history being made at Cape May Stage by calling 884-1341 or ordering tickets online at capemaystage.com.


Our main stage production of Steel Magnolias boasts a cast that would be the envy of any theatre in the country.  Tony, Emmy, Clio, and Spirit Award winners and nominees comprise the cast.  Opening on August 4 with an opening night party at the Pier House at La Mer Beachfront Inn, this is one show that is not to be missed!  Our opening night patrons eat and drink with the artists and discuss the performance with the entire production team.  Tony Award winner, Karen Ziemba takes the stage as M’Lynn and joins Broadway veterans Nicole Lowrance (Annelle) and Marlena Lustik (Ouiser) as well as Emmy Nominee Ellen Dolan (Truvy) and Cape May favorites Kate McCauley Hathaway (Clairee) and Meredith Riley Stewart (Shelby) in this all-star ensemble production.

In mid-August, the Second Stage brings magic to children and adults in two different programs.  On Sunday, August 14 Magic Beyond Imagination performs at 10 am for families that want to be astounded before heading off to the beach.  The following Monday night we bring a program of mind reading in Miracles of the Mind at 8 pm.  This is not to be believed, but must be experienced!

Come join the fun at Cape May Stage.

Final two Weeks to see "The Understudy" | Maureen McGovern & Tovah Feldshuh take the Stage

Maureen McGovern in concert July 25

Tovah Feldshuh will appear on August 8
With only two weeks left to see Theresa Rebeck's "The Understudy," tickets have been selling fast.  This fast-paced comedy has been selling out, so reserve tickets now by calling 884-1341 or going online to capemaystage.com.  Three Equity New York actors are the perfect cast for this funny and poignant play that has been hailed, "a masterpiece of comic clockwork timing."  The town has embraced these actors and you'll love seeing them on stage in a romantic triangle.


This Monday, July 25, at 8PM is your opportunity to see another Broadway luminary in Cape May Stage’s Second Stage "Women of Broadway" series.  Maureen McGovern is bringing her new show to Cape May before opening in New York this autumn.  You'll remember Maureen McGovern from singing "The Morning After" and "We May Never Love Like This Again" - both winning Oscars for ‘Best Song’.  She is using Paul Simon's lyric to title her show called dangling conversations…  We are thrilled to offer you artists that play on Broadway, at Carnegie Hall, or the Hollywood Bowl in our intimate Robert Shackleton Playhouse where you are never more than seven rows away.  After the show, ticket holders will have an opportunity to meet Maureen at the Washington Inn’s Wine Bar and enjoy a complimentary signature drink exclusively for audiences of that show.


On August 8, Tovah Feldshuh will be coming to our stage to perform her concert, Aging Is Optional, before it moves to New York.  This multiple Tony nominee is a legend in the theatre and Cape May audiences will be the first to see her newest show.  Tovah still holds the record for the longest running one-woman show in Broadway history with Golda's Balcony.  We have had the greatest voices on Broadway - Mary Testa, Karen Ziemba, Liz Callaway-- all on our stage.  Don't miss Maureen McGovern this coming Monday and Tovah Feldshuh in two weeks.


Our first session of summer theatre camp wraps up with a free performance of The Tempest on Saturday, July 23 at 1PM at the Emlen Physick Estate. The second session of our summer camp begins on August 8 and runs through August 20 with a final performance that day.  Campers will be performing in Shakespearean verse and singing and dancing, as well as building their sets and costumes.  It is always a joy to see campers from nine to seventeen performing outdoors at the Physick Estate on Washington Street with such accomplishment and confidence.  The performances are free and the memories are priceless.  Sign up your camper now!


There is so much going on at Cape May Stage - call 884-1341 now to join the fun.
