2025 EVENT SCHEDULE (so far)
Here is just one review from our audience survey:
“We were all hit hard by COVID - Theaters, actors, and theatergoers alike. So, it was with a great sense of joy and renewed optimism that I was able to reconnect with Gayle Stahlhuth and her new theater, Classic American Tales. Once more Gayle has worked her unparalleled magic with her readings of "Tales" on the porch of the Dormer House. If you haven't seen one, I encourage you to do so. Cape May is truly blessed to have Gayle as part of their community.”
- Nancy from Littlestown, PA
