We’ve been to several performances over a period of years and have always enjoyed the experience - until 7/25. A sudden severe and unexpected thunderstorm broke out about 5 minutes before the performance ended and the theater seemed to be at the very center of it. Much to everyone’s shock and dismay, the patrons, many of whom were elderly like ourselves, were rudely ejected from the theater directly into the lightning storm.

We attend Cape May Stage each year we come down since the middle 80's with wonderful plays all dramas.

Some plays have a intermission and others play straight thru.
Research the play you would like to see around the time you will be staying...
