Reading Series
Spring 2023 Virtual and Live Play Readings
Oftentimes readings are the first step in developing a script for a full production. Sometimes the script is finished and the reading gives producers and boards a taste of what a full production might look like. Both of these scenarios are part of Cape May Stage’s 2023 Reading Series. Join us this spring for both virtual and in-person readings to explore new and diverse plays.
Movie Nights at Cape May Stage
Spring 2023 Movies
Movie Night at Cape May Stage is a community “Film-Raiser” event to benefit a local non-profit. Join us this spring for a series of fun, family-friendly flicks.
As part of our commitment to the local community, 50% of all proceeds from this movie series will be donated to a local non-profit organization. Check out the list of movies showing this spring.
Shirley Valentine
A Liverpool housewife’s best friend wins a competition for a trip for two to Greece and she embarks on a travel adventure that transforms her life. This romantic comedy won both the Olivier and Tony Awards, and was adapted into a film in 1989. Called a “joyful, captivating piece of theater” by The New York Daily News, this celebrated one-woman play is a must see!
Carole J. Bufford in Concert
With fresh takes on classic multi-generational songs, expect an evening of powerhouse vocals, stories behind the music, and Bufford’s inimitable delivery of songs you love and perhaps a few new discoveries. The show features music made famous by Judy Garland, Sophie Tucker, Louis Armstrong, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, The Animals, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sting, Tina Turner, Prince and more.
