East Lynne Theater Company Presents ASL Performance of DULCY Oct. 14

On Friday, October 14 at 8:00p.m., there will be an American Sign Language Interpretation of DULCY produced by the award winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company.

ELTC prides itself on producing forgotten gems, and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrights George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly's DULCY is no exception. First produced on Broadway in 1921, this screwball comedy with a cast of eleven, is being received with eager applause and standing ovations by ELTC audiences. Concerning a wife, who, in trying to help her husband in business, almost ruins him, it's being compared by today's audiences to episodes of the iconic television show 'I Love Lucy.' Playwright's daughter Anne Kaufman is coming to Cape May on Wednesday, October 12 just to see the show and be part of an after-show Q&A. This is her third time to see a Kaufman play at ELTC, and will be her first time to see DULCY anywhere.

The theatrical ASL interpreters are Kathy Filippo and Gina Lanza, who have performed many times for ELTC. The process involves them seeing the production at least once, plus going over the script several times to figure out who will interpret which roles, and in many cases, come up with signage for unusual names and words.   

ELTC's final TALES OF THE VICTORIANS is on Saturday, October 8 at 4:00p.m. at The Cliveden Inn, 709 Columbia Ave., with performer Stephanie Garrett. Tickets are only $10 and reservations may be made by calling ELTC.   

Tickets for DULCY are $30 general admission; $25 for seniors and those with disabilities and their support companions; and $15 for full-time students. Children ages 12 and under are always
free. The location is The First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes St., Cape May, where the company is in residence. DULCY runs Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8:00p.m. through October 15 only. For information and reservations, call 609-884-5898 or visit www.eastlynnetheater.org.
