CAPE COD THEATRE PROJECT

For over a decade the Cape Cod Theatre Project has developed new American plays through a series of staged readings each July in Falmouth. It is the only professional theater on our end of the Cape (one of only two on the entire Cape), bringing talented actors and directors from across the country to work intensively with playwrights during the closing stages of the birth of a new play. Actors have included a great number of Tony, Golden Globe and Emmy nominees and winners. Several plays developed at the Cape Cod Theatre Project have subsequently opened off-Broadway in New York.
