CAPE MAY – Caution: This is not for the faint of heart. Throughout the remainder of October and November, Cape May Stage continues with Danger: Stay Away!, a series of staged readings meant for only the most intrepid of theatregoers.
What happens when a man with two lovers must choose only one? What’s it like to battle addiction in its many forms? How do you handle it when your greatest secret threatens to be exposed? Where do you draw the line between emotional intimacy and pure carnal desire?
If these provocative issues intrigue you, then Danger: Stay Away! is meant for you. These staged readings are designed to stimulate, provoke, challenge, and most of all, make you walk away from the theater with a broader understanding of the human condition and the contemporary world in which we live. We dare you to come.
