Oct. 3: Michele LaRue read’s Dorothy Canfield Fisher’s (1879-1958) “The Bedquilt,” (1906), a suspenseful tale about a woman’s journey to self-respect, universal admiration, and the realization of her ideal. Aunt Mehetabel is taken for granted by her New England family— until she conceives a quilt “beyond which no patchwork pattern could go.” LaRue, a member of Actors’ Equity, tours the country with “The Bedquilt” and other stories that are part of her series, “Tales Well Told.”
Oct. 10: Phil Pizzi brings Will Rogers (1879-1835) to life. In 1917, Rogers was a headliner for the Ziegfeld Follies, and in 1922, started a syndicated column that was read in 2,800 newspapers. His wit, wisdom and understanding of the human condition is often compared to that of Mark Twain.

“I feel like an experiment. Exactly like an experiment,” wrote Eve in her diary, according to Mark Twain in his humous account of the “first woman.” She also wrote about the first time she met Adam, how she named the animals, her quest for an education, and other events in Eden. Combining “Eve’s Diary,” along with his more serious essays, “Extract from Eve’s Diary,” and “Papers of the Adam’s Family,” Gayle Stahlhuth created her own solo “Eve’s Diary,” that’s she’s performed as part of one-woman festivals in New York City and elsewhere, as well as for special events, like the annual Quilting Festival in Paducah, Kentucky.

ONE STEP AT A TIME
Presented by Gayle Stahlhuth
Cape May Stage
Robert Shackleton Playhouse, 405 Lafayette Street, Cape May, NJ
FREE but donations accepted
Many have been caregivers at one time or another, and each has a story to tell. This is the tale of what it was like for Gayle Stahlhuth, whose husband, Lee O’Connor was diagnosed with cancer on October 1, 2019 and breathed his last on March 21, 2021. It contains the usual disappointments and not-looked-for ugly surprises along the way, but this one-person play is also about hope and joy, and living life to the fullest by not letting cancer define what “living” is all about: It’s being aware of the moments, and taking it one step at a time.
