(CAPE MAY, NJ) – On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 8:00pm, Cape May Stage presents its Monday Night series with The God Box, A Daughter’s Story, to benefit PRISMS, (Parents and Researchers Interested in Smith-Magenis Syndrome). The performance will be in honor of Christy McCauley who was born with SMS and hosted by the McCauley and Hathaway families.

The show is co-written and performed by Mary Lou Quinlan, author of the book that inspired the play, New York Times bestseller The God Box. It is the story of her remarkable discovery of her mother’s “God Boxes” filled with hundreds of private petitions on torn pages and Post-its written by the very hand that had slipped away.

The God Box, A Daughter’s Story is co-written and directed by Martha Wollner of NYC’s Labyrinth Theater Company, follows Quinlan on an emotional roller-coaster, as she struggles to come to terms with the death of her mother, ricocheting from grief to laughter to the greatest human challenge: learning to let go.  

Quinlan, a charismatic storyteller, has performed the show for five years in more than 100 venues around the US, including Off-Broadway, as well as the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it earned five stars. This year, Quinlan, a Philadelphia native, takes the show to Ireland for a 10 city tour. The God Box Project has raised nearly $400,000 US for cancer, hospice and education charities.

Tickets are $30 for general admission or a VIP package that includes a pre-show reception, select seating and a signed copy of the book. Tickets are available through www.capemaystage.com. For VIP Packages, contact the box office at 609-770-8311. Cape May Stage is located at 405 Lafayette Street, Cape May, NJ.
