(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- Cape May Stage presents Dutch Masters by Greg Keller from September 12 to October 19, 2025. Set in 1992 New York City, Dutch Masters is a thought-provoking play that follows a chance encounter between two young men—one Black, one white—on a subway ride.
As their journey unfolds, this compelling play examines race, privilege, and the complexities of human connection, revealing hidden tensions beneath seemingly ordinary interactions. Through sharp, authentic dialogue, the characters are forced to confront their own biases and question the societal systems that shape their lives. With every exchange, the play peels back more layers, exploring the fine line between camaraderie and conflict, while exposing the fragility of identity in a racially divided world.
They appear to be polar opposites of one other, at first glance, race and class appears to define them. Can these two New Yorkers break through the differences to discover the possible ties that bind them?
Directed by Gregg Daniel, the cast includes Christian Henley* (Eric) and John Snow* (Steve).
Performances take place Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Cape May Stage is located at 405 Lafayette Street in Cape May, New Jersey.
