Cape May Stage’s Robert Shackleton Playhouse is far more
than a beautifully-restored 1853 church – it is a place for theatre-lovers of
all kinds to come together to enjoy quality live performances. In addition to each year’s stellar
in-house productions, the theatre is used for outreach of all kinds.
We’ve teamed up again with Chase Arts – a local arts
organization dedicated to broadening the scope of the community’s inherent
culture through exciting and inspiring art installations. Last year’s collaboration was the
celebrated For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow
Was Enuf. This year’s The Colored Museum – running May 4 at 8pm and May 5 at 3 and 8 pm –
will be further reason for rejoice.
Directed by Rodney Gilbert, this satirical play examines the honor and
desire of African-American people to escape centuries of suffering that has
been a continuous source of baggage.
It is a night of theatre not to be missed!
We’re getting
down to the wire for this season’s first mainstage production: Uncle Jacques’ Symphony! Opening with a preview on May 11, this
one-man tour-de-force celebrates humanity as a musical metaphor. Ovation Award winner Dominic Hoffman
pays homage to his uncle, Jacques Hoffman, a jazz musician from Chicago. Men and women, young and old, of
different cultures and creeds come alive onstage for 75 minutes, weaving a
tapestry to form a vibrant symphony of life.
