Dynamic husband and wife duo Lissa Layng and James Reynolds will inspire Cape May Stage audiences with performances of their popular solo shows, Sept. 5 and 6 respectively, at The Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Bank St.
Based on the best-selling novel, A Woman of Independent Means stars Layng and tells the story of Bess Steed Garner, a woman ahead of her time whose credo was “The only defense against death is life.”
Layng’s real-life husband, James Reynolds, who has starred for over 20 years in Days of Our Lives, portrays over 20 characters in I, Too, Am America, which he created and describes as “a collage of African-American experiences.”
Both shows are scheduled for 8 p.m.
Called “a striking performance” by the Los Angeles Times and ranging from “hilariously funny” to “heartbreaking and sad” according to the Winnipeg Free Press, A Woman of Independent Means is the grand unfolding tale of what it was like to be an adventurous spirit before the era of women’s liberation and feminism.
Following Layng’s performance Sept. 5, the two-time Emmy nominated Reynolds will display his formidable talents Sept. 6 bringing to life such American heroes as Paul Robeson, Sojourner Truth, Deadwood Dick and others in a show that celebrates the African American journey and contribution to the fabric of America.
