\nBring a Delightfully Funny New Musical Comedy to Your Stage!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cape Morton is now available for licensing by community theaters, regional theater companies, and other theatrical organizations.<\/p>\n

Set in a fictional seaside town during the summer of 1966, this original two-act musical comedy follows the uproar that erupts when a local dress shop displays a daring new swimsuit. What begins as a seemingly trivial controversy soon becomes a humorous and surprisingly touching exploration of changing times, personal convictions, and small-town traditions.<\/p>\n

With colorful characters, memorable musical numbers, and practical production requirements, Cape Morton offers theaters an entertaining opportunity to introduce audiences to a brand-new musical.<\/p>\n
