National Playwrights Symposium

The National Playwrights Symposium is held every spring at Cape May Stage. This prestigious event is dedicated to bringing talented emerging and professional playwrights together with some of the world’s most renowned artists in an environment of community, creativity and craft.

Donating to the National Playwrights Symposium can help defer the cost for a playwright in need or can allow you to establish a scholarship in your name! To learn more about this event, click here.

New Works Initiative

Cape May Stage loves to support emerging playwrights and their new plays. Through live and virtual readings held throughout the season, we are able to present these brand new plays to the public and provide real-time feedback to the playwright. New play readings are always donation based to allow everyone to enjoy these works.

Your donations to this fund will help offset the costs of these readings and allow us to present even more new and exciting plays!

Theater Preservation Fund

Cape May Stage is housed in the Robert Shackleton Theater built in 1853. As the stewards of this historic building, Cape May Stage is dedicated to maintaining and preserving it. Your donations to the Theater Preservation Fund will help us in these ongoing efforts. To learn more about the history of our theater, click here.
