CAPE MAY – Cape May Stage is hosting the first of the 2011 “Senior Savings Series”: special discounted performances of theater for all senior citizens. On Sunday, May 29th at 3 p.m., all seniors, 62 and over, are invited to attend the afternoon matinee performance of the heart-warming Say Goodnight, Gracie, at the discounted rate of $15.00 per ticket (that’s 50% off regular box office prices). ‘Senior Matinees’ sell out very quickly, so reservations are a must.
Say Goodnight, Gracie, starring Broadway veteran Joel Rooks, is an unforgettable theatre experience, centering around one man’s devotion to his wife: a woman who was his friend, his sweetheart, and his partner for life and beyond. A love story one hundred years in the making, it induces tears of laughter and compassion as it tells the remarkable adventures of Burns, a scrappy kid from the absolute poverty of New York’s lower East Side (whose neighbors included Fanny Brice and The Marx Brothers) who fought his way with song and dance into Vaudeville. When Burns met the romance of his lifetime, the deliciously delirious Gracie Allen, the pair teamed up as both entertainers and lovers and rode a rainbow to stardom that led them on to the heights of Hollywood and into the homes of America.
Seniors are encouraged to attend Say Goodnight, Gracie on Sunday, May 29th at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse at Bank & Lafayette Streets in downtown Cape May for $15 per ticket. The final public performance of the current run is at 8pm on Saturday evening, June 18th.
Tickets are $35 adults, $30 seniors, and $15 students. Call (609) 884-1341 for reservations and information or visit the theatre’s website, www.capemaystage.com.
Say Goodnight, Gracie is presented through the gracious support of The Queen Victoria® Bed & Breakfast. This season’s sponsors include 410 Bank Street/Frescos, CapeSCape, The Corner Cottage Apartments, Exit Zero, Harry’s Ocean Bar & Grille at the Montreal Inn, La Mer Beachfront Inn, The Washington Inn, Cape May Winery, and Lucky Bones.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
