AUSTRALIAN MADE ENTERTAINMENT has announced their production of The Club, written by David Williamson (Winner of the Australian Writer's Guild Award for Best Play) and directed by Andrew H. Lyons.

For those who didn't have the opportunity to meet the cast of the award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company's "Zorro!" at the opening night after-show party at the Washington Inn on July 23, another chance is to be had on Friday, August 1 at an after-show Q&A. It's a wonderful opportunity for patrons to ask actors, director, and technical team such questions as "why do they do what they do?" and "how do they do it?"

The award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company's next production is a swashbuckler: the world premiere of 'Zorro!' based on Johnston McCulley's 'The Curse of Capistrano' (1919) adapted by James Rana. Spanish for 'fox,' Zorro fought the oppressive colonial government in Spanish California with a quick sword and wit. Wearing a mask, he kept his identity secret, even to the woman he loved. In 1939, Bob Kane and Bill Finger gave credit to McCulley's masked avenger, with his dual identity, as their inspiration for 'Batman.' Like Bruce Wayne and Batman, Don Diego and Zorro are never seen together at the same time.

On Friday, July 11 at 8:30p.m., there will be an American Sign Language Interpretation of 'The First Fifty Years' produced by the award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company.

Tasty homemade hors d'oeuvres, which include stuffed baby artichoke hearts with Italian cheeses; panko, with garlic and parsley stuffing; baked plum tomatoes with goat cheese and pesto filling; and mini quiches with spinach, feta and black olives, will be served.

They love, they fight, they make up, they care for each other - it's a marriage. The award winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company presents "The First Fifty Years," a dramatic-comedy that shows the ups and downs of a marriage in seven scenes, each during a pivotal anniversary. Beginning right after their honeymoon in 1872, seven years after the end of the Civil War, the play marks the lives of Anne and Martin Wells up to their golden anniversary at the beginning of the Roaring '20s, in 1922.

Children are always welcome, and, like other East Lynne events, ages 12 and under are free. As usual most of the 'Tales' are in Cape May, but for the first time, a North Wildwood location has been added at the request of The Candlelight Inn.
