| Cape May Stage Offers a Sign-Interpreted Performance for David Auburn’s Pulitzer-winning Play, Proof |
|
| ASL Interpreted Performance: October 9, 8 p.m. Cape May, NJ- Cape May Stage, Cape May’s premier professional Equity theatre, with the generous support of PNC Arts Alive, is proud to announce a spectacular evening of live theatre on Friday, October 9th. Theatrical interpreters for the deaf Celeste Herse and Anne Maselli will interpret the stage’s 8 p.m. performance of David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Proof. The ASL signed performance will take place at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse at Bank and Lafayette Streets. Herse, a local interpreter in the South Jersey area, is thrilled to return to the Stage this fall after previously interpreting several of the Stage’s productions last season. “I love theater because it takes you to different places and signing performances is such a unique experience. As an interpreter not only do you have to listen, but also translate and communicate each emotion like an actor to make the story come alive,” explains Herse. Herse will be joined on stage with theatrical interpreter and colleague, Anne Maselli. “Having a partner to work with on stage creates great interaction. It’s more meaningful for the deaf to see two people interpreting and it’s a lot of fun,” states Herse. In Proof, playwright David Auburn weaves together a gripping drama highlighting complex family relationships while utilizing mathematics, love, genius, trust, madness, fear and humor. The plot unfolds as Catherine (played by Wrenn Schmidt) becomes plagued with worry that as well as inheriting her deceased father’s mathematical genius, she has also been cursed with his mental illness. Throughout the play, she searches for her own identity, all the while facing the doubts of her older sister and her deceased father’s protégée. Fascinating and funny, Proof delves into the mysteries of something much more complicated than mathematical theories, and deals with what goes on in the characters’ hearts, not their heads. PNC Financial Services Group is the presenting sponsor of Cape May Stage’s ASL Interpreted Performance. The support is part of PNC Arts Alive, a five-year, $5 million investment from The PNC Foundation to help area residents gain access to the arts, and help arts organizations expand and engage audiences. Proof featuring theatrical interpreters is scheduled for Friday, October 9 at 8 p.m. at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse at the corner of Bank & Lafayette Streets in downtown Cape May. Performances are Wednesday thru Sundays at 8 p.m. thru October 24th. Tickets are $35 adults, $25 seniors, and $12.50 students. Assisted listening devices are also available upon request for the hearing impaired. Call (609) 884-1341 for reservations and information.This production is generously sponsored by The Fairthorne Inn and Carney’s. For information and reservations, (click here). |

| East Lynne Theater Company presents "President Lincoln and the Sawyers of Cape May" |
|
| East Lynne Theater Company's "President Lincoln and the Sawyers of Cape May" was selected as one of twenty-eight events in the state to be part of New Jersey Council for the Humanities' (NJCH) "Lincoln’s Legacy" series, created to honor the two hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth and National Arts and Humanities Month. As president during one of our nation's most trying times, Abraham Lincoln has had a lasting impact upon the history, culture, and political development of the United States. On July 6, 1863, it was only by the bad luck-of-the-draw that Captain Henry Sawyer, from Cape May, and another captain were sentenced to death at Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia. The Union and Confederate governments had recently decided that there would be no more prisoner exchanges, but when a captive is the son of General Robert E. Lee, and President Lincoln wants to save Captain Sawyer's life, then there is room for negotiations. Last winter, ELTC's Artistic Director, Gayle Stahlhuth, wrote a script, "Henry Sawyer and the Civil War," that was performed by students at West Cape May Elementary School. Tom Sims, Executive Director of the Cape May Film Festival, made a documentary of the event, and became so interested in the topic, that he's pursuing funding to produce a documentary based on this play, using professional actors, and involving Civil War scholars. On Sunday, Oct. 11 at 8:00p.m., Sim's documentary about rehearsing and performing the play for the school will be shown along with another documentary filmed at Historic Cold Spring Village, called "Lincoln and Sawyer." Sim's will discuss how these two documentaries will be part of a larger project. The evening includes a staged reading of "Henry Sawyer and the Civil War" with Morgan Nichols, Daisy Ouzts, and John Cameron Weber, who are all currently in ELTC's "The Butter and Egg Man," along with Jim McMillan, who was in "The People of Cape May vs. Johan van Buren," and Phil Pizzi, who has appeared in several ELTC productions including the Sherlock Holmes adventures. Also in the reading are Lee O'Connor, who portrays Holmes in ELTC's productions and Gayle Stahlhuth, who also directs. There will also be a presentation by James Stephens, Lead Interpreter at Historic Cold Spring Village and a Civil War-era historian, about Cape May hero Captain Henry Sawyer and President Lincoln, with a Q&A to follow. Admission is free to "Abraham Lincoln and the Sawyers of Cape May," and the location is The First Presbyterian Church where ELTC is in residence. To make a reservation or for information, call 884-5898. This program is made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any view, findings, conclusions, or recommendations in this program, do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or the NJCH. Meanwhile, the rib-tickling Kaufman comedy, "The Butter and Egg Man" continues its regular Wednesday through Saturday schedule through Oct. 24. For information and reservations, contact ELTC at 884-5898, or (click here). |
