Written and performed by Nora Armani
Friday, September 17, 8PM

Cairo in the 60's, Hollywood in the 80's, London in the 90's... With humor and nostalgia, Nora remembers the Bosphorus and Istanbul, pre-1915 Anatolian summers, Alexandria and its port, Nasser's post revolution Egypt, Hollywood and its follies, even the Scottish Highlands. NOW, IF SHE COULD ONLY REMEMBER HERSELF. Told through song and dance, with laughter and tears, Nora Armani's self-penned "On the Couch" is a one-woman piece about identity, belonging, multiple cultural provenances and life coincidences that bring us where we are and make us who we are.

Now adding Cape May, NJ to the list, Armani has performed "On the Couch" in Paris, London, Cairo, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Houston, Montreal and Geneva, in both its English and French versions.

Separating the Men From the Bull
Monday, September 20, 8PM

In this original, highly comic tour-de-force, performers Daniel Jenkins (Broadway: Mary Poppins, Big, Big River) and Neal Lerner (last season's comedy hit Social Security) expose the intricacies of male friendships in seven inventive and insightful vignettes. This all out comedy is a triumph of the imagination - a unique and authentic, imaginative and smart, amusing, unpredictable, with a straight out of life but with a comic book edge to it examination of the trials and tribulations of being male.

"I laughed out loud and held my breath at tender moments in the mad, mad, mad man world they have created. It's fragile and sweet, funny and sad. It's so captivating and original, you couldn't make it up if you tried; yet it rings true and got the audience roaring as well as thinking." -Talkinbroadway.com

"Killadelphia"
One-man Mix Tape of a City
Written and Performed by Sean Christopher Lewis
Monday, October 4th, 8PM

In the Summer of 2008, it was often said that Philadelphia had "more bodies than days." The city was in the midst of a murder epidemic that put it on par with some third world countries. Determined to take an unflinching look at the causes of the crime rate and its effect on the community, playwright Sean Christopher Lewis introduces us to the inmates of Graterford Prison - men employed to beautify the city even as they serve out life sentences. The voices of the prisoners, their victims, Mayor Nutter, local rappers, conservative talk show hosts, trauma surgeons, and the citizens of the City of Brotherly Love crowd the stage to say their piece. Played by Lewis, a performer described by the New York Press as "explicitly authentic", these voices combine with a shocking document of life in America's toughest town. The stunning result is Killadelphia: mixtape of a city.

Tickets are $20 general admission.

Beyond the Ouija Board
An Evening with Arlette Michaelis
Tuesday, October 5, 8PM

On May 10, 1940, Arlette de Monceau's life was changed forever when the Nazis invaded Belgium. Faced with unknown adversity and strife, the 15-year-old Arlette made solving these difficulties a source of fun for herself and her younger siblings. Veiled in youthful invincibility, they harassed Germans on the streetcars, set fire to their raincoats, and published anti-Nazi propaganda. Her apartment was frequently used to hide Jews from the Nazis, and she later became a courier and aid to Father Bruno Reynders, a Belgian monk who has been credited with saving the lives of over 400 Jews. Thanks to the gracious support of PNC Arts Alive, de Monceau, now Arlette Michaelis, brings her singular story of determination and unwavering optimism to Cape May Stage for a FREE evening on October 5th. Audience members of all ages will relate to the stories of her defiant and heroic childhood, as Michaelis is somehow able to find humor and levity amongst the tears.

Tickets: FREE
