(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- Cape May Stage is ushering in the holiday season with Adopt a Sailor: The Holiday Edition with performances from December 8 through December 30th. The production is directed by Chris Dolman, & featuring Roy Steinberg, Marlena Lustik, & Colby Howell. Written by Charles Evered, a New Jersey native and naval veteran himself, the play centers around Patricia and Richard, an upscale New York couple who inadvertently adopts a sailor from rural Arkansas for the holiday season.
Roy Steinberg, Artistic Director of Cape May Stage and playing Richard, the uptight, self-centered husband said, "Cape May Stage originally planned to produce Adopt a Sailor for the 2020 season but when that became impossible the play was adapted into a holiday version and once again Cape May Stage is listed in the printed published version as the first theatre to mount this text. The patrons of Cape May are the first people to see a professional production of this play. We aspire to be associated with the next great group of playwrights”.
Charles Evered also wrote and directed the feature film Adopt a Sailor, starring Peter Coyote and Bebe Neuwirth. Adopt a Sailor was an official selection at more than 20 national and international film festivals and premiered on Showtime.
Performances take place Tuesday through Saturday at 7:00pm and Saturday/Sunday matinees at 2:00pm ** with certain holiday exceptions. Tickets are $40.00 and available for purchase online or by calling the Box Office at 609-770-8311. There will also be a special Talk - Back on December 10th with playwright Charles Evered, director Chris Dolman, and cast directly following the performance. Cape May Stage is located at 31 Perry Street in Cape May, New Jersey.
Adopt a Sailor: The Holiday Edition sponsored by Fins Bar & Grille & Peter Shield Inn reminds us that despite our glaring differences, we may have more in common with others than we could have ever imagined.
