(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- In May of 2020, Cape May Stage launched the Virtual Lecture Series discussing and exploring nearly every facet of the theatre. On Wednesday, September 16th, Cape May Stage premiered the expansion of those discussions in the form of a new Virtual Talk-Show, Cape May Arts Today, hosted by Cape May Stage’s Producing Artistic Director Roy Steinberg. Cape May Arts Today will cover arts related topics in Cape May and around the world. New Episodes will stream every other Wednesday at 12:00pm and will be available to watch on Cape May Stage’s Facebook page and through Cape May Stage’s Virtual Theater page.
In the first episode, Roy chats with actress and author Tina Sloan. Tina is most known for playing Lillian Raines on Guiding Light and previously performed her one woman show Changing Shoes at Cape May Stage. On Guiding Light, Tina’s character was the first character in television history to get tested for breast cancer as part of the show. Tina gives insight into the groundbreaking story line, discusses her new book Chasing Cleopatra, and much more. Watch the premier of Cape May Arts Today hosted by Roy Steinberg with special guest Tina Sloan here.
In addition to Cape May Arts Today, Cape May Stage continues its Virtual Reading Series with Happy by Alan Zweibel and directed by Roy Steinberg. In Happy, a baseball fan makes a pilgrimage to the home of a former baseball star who is now a janitor in Delray Beach, Florida and asks him to sign a very special ball. After a fair amount of humor and misunderstanding, the power of baseball to bond fathers, sons and men emerges. A comedy for anyone who’s ever wished for an extra inning, Happy stars Michael Basile as Donald and Jesse N. Holmes as Happy. This short comedy streams Thursday, September 24th at 6:00pm here.
Then on October 1st as Cape May stage presents a Virtual Reading of Adored You by Rachel Lynett at 6:00pm. Adored You tells the bittersweet love story of Lila and Alex, who meet in a coffee shop and over the next three years (in a single day), they try to form a life together, with all the ups and downs that comes with being in love. Adored You streams here on October 1st at 6:00pm.
