Roy Steinberg of Cape May Stage takes us on an exploration of theatre history starting with the Oresteia of Aeschylus. In particular, he will concentrate on theater in Cape May, from the 19th century opera and vaudeville through the 20th century star packages and summer stock to the creation of theater companies that exist today. The 21st century theater that exists today grew out of that history and we will discuss contemporary Cape May demographics and national trends and union protocols to guess at the future.
