Cape May Stage to Present ‘37 Stories in Which I Come Off Badly’

CAPE MAY – Cape May Stage, South Jersey’s premiere Equity theatre, will present a hilarious evening of cabaret! Jody Cook, one of the stars of Cape May Stages current uproarious holiday show, A Tuna Christmas, brings us 37 Stories in Which I Come Off Badly. This hilarious and touching show will play Mon., Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse in downtown Cape May.
Cooks tales are funny, sad, and hard to believe, but entirely true! More mortifying, humiliating, jaw-dropping, and hilarious things have happened to Jody Cook than you can shake a stick at! Join him as he exposes his tortured soul and unburdens his cold heart with a tear in one eye and a smirk in the other. Featuring music by Kander & Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styne, David Yazbek, Charles Strouse, Vernon Duke, John LaTouche, Burt Bacharach, and more, this riotous show will have you rolling in the aisles!
Originally from Kentucky, Cook studied opera and theatre performance at Belmont University. A recent contestant in the New York Musical Theatre Festivals Next Broadway Sensation, Cook has been seen in NYC revivals of Three Wishes for Jamie, Silk Stocking, Irene, and Ernest In Love as a singing pepperoni on a slice of pizza, and as a groomsman in the Cameron Crowe film Elizabethtown. Recent productions include Curtains (Christopher Belling) at Music Theatre of Wichita, A Tuna Christmas at Actors Theatre of Louisville, Mr.President! at Playwright’s Horizon, Boss in the Satin Kimono (Rhonda Marquez) at NYFringe Fest, and as ‘Dr. Zizmor’ in workshops of the new musical The Wasp Woman.
