Cape Rep Theatre
05/01/08 to 06/01/08

Cape Rep Theatre will produce Fifth of July,  the hit comic drama by Pulitzer prize winning playwright, Lanford Wilson, directed by Maura Hanlon. On July 4th, 1977, friends reunite to celebrate Independence Day in Lebanon, Missouri. Born in the 1960’s of a youthful change-the-world idealism and sustained over the years by intimacies of love, marriage, and common experience, the friends have become an odd, untraditional family.  This screamingly funny and deeply moving play is a raucous exploration of how to move on in the world that isn’t the Eden you thought you were creating.  Amazing characters, brilliant dialogue---Lanford Wilson at his best. 

3299 Rte. 6A in East Brewster.  Performances run Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2 pm, except May 11.  Reserved seating tickets are $ 20.  For tickets and reservations, call (508) 896-1888.
