About The Cape Playhouse
The Cape Playhouse’s illustrious history dates back to 1927, when its founder, Raymond Moore, embarked on a mission to carve out a place in the American Theatre landscape. His vision was to create a smart, sophisticated summer theatre with some of the world’s most noted stage and screen professionals. In his own words, he “aspired to be of service to many artist-workers and to be a source of inspiration and recreation to the community”. Today, the Playhouse operates the theatre as a non-profit organization, proud to build upon its founder’s legacy.
The realization of Moore’s dream has since been recognized by The New York Times, acknowledging The Cape Playhouse as the “place where Broadway goes to summer.” Today, 94 years later, the theatre continues to feature world-class talent in shows produced specifically for the Playhouse and is one of Cape Cod’s premier cultural assets. In addition to professional live-theatre experiences, the not-for-profit organization is committed to youth programs and education, serving the local community. The historic theatre is situated on an expansive 22-acre campus along with the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Cape Cinema, for all to enjoy.
