Cape May Stage

It is located at the corner of Bank and Lafayette Streets in downtown Cape May, New Jersey, United States.

Grant funding from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts was awarded in 1996, which allowed for further improvements to the company’s productions.

In 1998, the theatre programming expanded to an eight month/six production season, to more fully serve the year-round residents and off-season visitors to the Cape May area.

Upon the passing of Cape May Stage’s founder in 2001, a new artistic director, Michael Carleton, was recruited and hired to run the day-to-day operations of the theatre as well as to expand the programming and services provided to the community and its visitors.
