Enjoy 2 East Lynne Theatre Company Tickets good for any 2012 production

The award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company has its usual theater season filled with classic gems, a world premiere, and a radio show.

In March and November, ELTC's popular radio-style adventures returns: "Sherlock Holmes Adventure of the Norwood Builder," complete with live sound effects and commercials. The evidence points to a young lawyer as a murderer. Is he being set up? An exciting puzzle for Holmes and Watson.

From June 13 to July 21, it's "Ruth Draper's Company of Characters." Before the solo shows of Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg, there was the originator of the “character monologue,” Ruth Draper. ELTC is only the second production company to be allowed to produce this incredible material since Draper's death. Performers are Karen Case Cook and Suzanne Dawson.

Next up is "The Poe Mysteries," from July 25 to Sept. 1, a world premiere adapted by James Rana based on "Murders of the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Roget," and "The Purloined Letter." Follow the adventures of Auguste Dupin as he solves macabre mysteries in Paris of the 1840s, as created by Edgar Allan Poe. A cast of six portrays 50 characters in these haunting tales. From Oct. 24-28, the show goes to newly formed 600-seat Ocean Professional Theatre in Barnegat.

Then it’s the screwball comedy, "It Pays to Advertise," running from Sept. 19 to Oct. 13. Written by Roi Cooper Mergue and Walter C. Hackett, it was a Broadway hit in 1914, and made into a film with Carole Lombard. The premise – and promise – that anything can be sold in America is at its core, but it also examines the very nature and romance of advertising and its influence. All it takes is one adventurous young man to announce, "Advertising is responsible for everything!" and he and his two friends are off and running in this delightfully sly farce, with a cast of ten.

For the holidays, from Nov. 23 through Dec. 14, it's "Louisa May Alcott's Christmas." Three of Alcott's tales, including the opening of "Little Women" are beautifully brought to life in storytelling fashion by Gayle Stahlhuth. A holiday treat for the whole family.

There are many interesting and fun Cape May attractions.Take a stroll, bicycle ride, or go back in time on a horse & carriage ride through the streets of our enchanting Victorian Village by the sea. No matter what the season, Cape May offers a magical moment in time where couples can admire the famed Victorian architecture with its exuberant gingerbread trim, play on the beach, or see some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
