What could possibly go wrong when some rather stoic individuals living in a very traditional, 1960s seaside community find themselves getting dragged, kicking and screaming toward a more modern age?

Well, if you poke around here a bit and delve into the perusal script’s storyline for “Cape Morton”, you’re likely to find out rather easily.

This brand-new, two-act stage musical is filled with humor, sentiment, surprises and more, all of which is accompanied by 14 diverse and original songs that help carry the plot forward. The result is a very lively, character-driven musical comedy, the likes of which may not have ever been seen before.

Approximate running time: 2 hours, including intermission
Book and lyrics by: Richard F. Hamre
