CHRISTMAS IN THE BARN
Free Entrance!
Friday, December 12 from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm at 400 Stevens Street, West Cape May, NJ
Join us in the heated barn for a tasty dinner (at a reasonable price!)
Bottles available for purchase from Cape May Winery and Obscura Brewery
AND Enjoy CAT'S Artistic Director Gayle Stahlhuth
Presenting Zona Gale's "A Great Tree" at 6:00 & O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" at 7:30
Gayle's rendition of "The Tell-Tale Heart" went so well on Halloween, that she was invited back!
"Friendship Village ain't ever looked much more like Christmas, than it did that December, in 1912," Calliope begins her tale "A Great Tree," in which she does all she can to get the big cedar in the town square lit with electric lights in time for Christmas Eve.
"One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That's all I have, and tomorrow is Christmas," sighed Della in "The Gift of the Magi."
After months of trying to save money, this is all she has to buy a present.
