A warm and witty story about change, tradition, and a swimsuit that started a townwide debate.

Overview
Cape Morton is a lighthearted but thoughtful musical set in a fictional seacoast town during the mid-1960s. When a controversial swimsuit appears in a dress shop window, the Town Council considers passing an ordinance regarding “public decency.” What first began as a local uproar soon becomes a reflection on change, tradition, and how a community decides what kind of future it truly desires.
