"Cape May Kids Playhouse" at Cape May
Stage, Cape May Stage, August 2,
9 & 16, 2010
CAPE MAY KIDS!" by Marlena Lustik directed by Eric Oleson inspired
by the novella "Down The Shore" by Gwynne Spencer. The story deals
with Cape May in the 1950s, and is filled with nostalgia for
grandparents and silly fun and music for kids! Though "Cape May
Kids" is intended for children, many adults in the audience wiped
away a nostalgic tear at the story of kids in the 1950s who work
hard to get a transistor radio, that cutting edge technology, so
they could hear rock 'n 'roll on the beach in Cape May! August 9th
and August 16th: “Magic at the Cape” is a one-hour magical journey
for children ages 5 and older and features not one, but TWO
magicians! The show is enchanting, entertaining, educational,
hilarious, and of course- magical! Join magicians Johnny Mass and
Michael Walsh inside the beautiful Robert Shackleton Playhouse in
Cape May this summer and experience a magical morning with your
family! All shows at 10am. Tickets: $10 for adults and $7 for

Operation Adelmo: " The Clown Prince
of Opera", Cape May Stage,
August 2, 2010
First came THE 3 TENORS, then THE SOPRANOS, now... OPERATION ADELMO!
OPERATION ADELMO is an elegant evening of irony and arias starring
Adelmo Guidarelli, the opera singer Jerome Hines called, "The up and
coming baritone of the decade." Guidarelli's vocal ability and
variety of style astounds even the most jaded theatergoer. A
90-minute solo entertainment takes you on a song filled journey into
his world of opera- a world that critics have compared to Victor
Borge and Anna Russell. Along with his romantic river-rumbling
baritone singing voice, Mr. Guidarelli plays a multitude of musical
instruments, such as guitar, banjo, ukulele, accordion and kazoo.
It's a multi-genre production that has it all: pop, jazz, classic
rock, opera, and even magic. OPERATION ADELMO is suitable for the
entire family. All ages and demographics, from the novice to the
expert, can enjoy this show that encompasses everything from a night
at the Metropolitan Opera to a day with Bugs Bunny on the Warner
Brothers lot. Mr. Guidarelli's style and presentation is full of
warmth and charm. It's a magical evening of music and fun featuring
the lyrical singing voice of Adelmo Guidarelli. “He is keeping the
arts alive!” -Kitty Carlisle Hart “This guys has a very special
gift.” - Ben Vereen Tickets $20. 8PM Call (609) 884-1341 for tickets

Dominic Chianese: "Italian Songs of
My Childhood", Cape May Stage,
August 9, 2010
Dominic Chianese, best known for his Italian-American roles, has
been acting and singing for over four decades, culminating in his
high-profile role on HBO's "The Sopranos" as the stoic, vengeful mob
boss Uncle Junior. In addition to The Sopranos, The Godfather Part
II and Gotti, he has appeared in Dog Day Afternoon and such
television dramas as Kojak and Law & Order. Though his reputation
has largely been built upon his portrayal of mobsters, his roots are
firmly planted in musical theater. Music has always been a part of
life for Dominic Chianese. His musical credits include The
Fantastiks and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. As
far back as he can remember, the words "C'mon, sing!" from his
Gramps would launch the once shy boy from the Bronx into youthful
songs like "The Music Goes Round and Round." Like many actors,
Chianese had to make ends meet during the early days. He often sang
and played guitar in nursing homes. Since then, Dominic has been
serenading audiences with his acoustic guitar, taking them on a
musical journey through his Italian childhood. Don't miss this
heartfelt performance! TICKET INCLUDES AFTER PARTY AT THE WINE BAR
Each ticket you purchase includes admission to an after party at the
Wine Bar at the Washington Inn, Cape May's new hip, relaxing,

well-stocked cash bar. Tickets only $50. 8PM Call (609) 884-1341 for

"Happy Days" by Samuel Beckett, Cape
May Stage, August 25 - 29, 2010
In "Happy Days", award-winning playwright Samuel Beckett pursues his
relentless search for the meaning of existence, probing the tenuous
relationships that bind one person to another, and each to the
universe, to time past and time present. Once again, stripping
theater to its barest essentials, "Happy Days" offers only two
characters: a married couple, Winnie and Willie, a mound of dirt as
the set, and a bag of props containing a few earthly possessions.
Returning from 2009's hit comedy, "Social Security", beloved actors
Lynn and Ron Cohen star in this compelling production.

August 31, 2010
"Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad" is a night of comedy, music and
burlesque, told by the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School,

deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a
fast-paced vaudeville extravaganza, complete with kick lines, punch
lines and a rendition of "L'chaim" with a fist in the mouth. This
ain't yo' mama's "Fiddler". "Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad" features a
stellar line up of comedians, musicians, spoken word artists and
burlesque performers who have been featured on Comedy Central, HBO
and MTV. This show has been wowing sold-out crowds in NYC,
Philadelphia, Boston, DC, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Madison, Detroit,
Montreal, Burlington, Provincetown, the Berkshires, the Hamptons and
of course the Catskills. Tickets $25. 8PM Call (609) 884-1341 for
