Cape May Stage Nears the End of Project Encore "Incredible!" "I don't believe it!" Those exclamations have been typical reactions from Cape May Stage's early-season visitors as they hustled past the box office into the newly renovated Robert Shackleton Playhouse recently. The interior of the building has received a mighty do-over since last season. It has been a busy off-season for the architects, painters, carpenters, electricians, drapery-makers, seat-builders, floor-refinishers and carpet-layers who have diligently worked their trades at the theatre under the direction of Project Encore's volunteer restoration leaders - Dave Clemans and Tom Carroll. The results are nothing less than spectacular! Last December the Project Encore Restoration Committee agreed upon an architectural plan, by FMG Architects, that would include seven rows of permanent theatre seats - with the first two rows at floor level and the remaining five rows built into a steel riser platform. The rows are divided by a center aisle allowing visitors to view the stage and the apse upon entering the theatre. The Committee also agreed on the style and size of the new stadium-type seats. The installation of the new stage lights and a supporting electrical system have been completed along with the installation of the new, soft, comfortable seats. The final touch will be the hanging of the draperies - generously donated by Jan Schmidt of Dragonfly Interiors. Four years after the launch of Project Encore the planned work is close to being finished. Project Chairman Jim Moffatt said: "From the public perspective there is basically nothing else to restore or renovate. Next year we want to install a state-of-the-art sound system; build new steps, railing and ramp outside; upgrade our air-conditioning system; and, possibly build an office in the balcony area -if we can raise the funding thru our Buy-a-Brick campaign that we are launching this month. Right now we are getting ready to enjoy the 2008theatre season in the finest Equity performance venue in South Jersey.” Moffatt concludes, “Everyone in Cape May should treat themselves and visit Cape May Stage's restored theatre during our Opening Weekend, May 22 thru 25. This body of work will knock your socks off." The thrilling 20th season opens with an immensely entertaining one-man tour-de-force, followed by a classic Noel Coward romantic comedy, a Pulitzer Prize winning drama, a perfect ‘World Series’ theatre treat, a smoky, jazzy story about a legendary blues singer, and a tender homage to one of the greatest holiday films of all time. Join the Cape May Stage family as a Season Ticket Holder so you don’t miss a moment! The 2008 schedule is as follows: “Fully Committed” by Becky Mode: May 21- June 28 “Private Lives” by Noel Coward: July 2- August 16 “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley: August 20- September 27 “Rounding Third” by Richard Dresser: October 1- November 1 “Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill” by Lanie Robertson: November 5- November 22 “This Wonderful Life” by Steve Murray, Conceived by Mark Setlock: November 28- December 21st Be a part of an ever-growing audience of season subscribers who enjoys professional productions at a 33% savings off the regular ticket prices.
