Theater on the Cape began in 1916 when a group of artists and writers in Provincetown mounted a production of a one-act play, Bound East for Cardiff, by a little-known playwright, Eugene O'Neill. They staged the play in a rickety old theater on a wharf in what was then little more than a sleepy fishing village. From that artists' colony--and others like it across the Cape and Islands--it grew into the constantly expanding theater universe it is today. The theatrical descendants of O'Neill and the Provincetown Players continue to present classical drama, contemporary hits and new, experimental works to audiences that have come to expect the best. In her tour of the theaters from Provincetown to Falmouth, author and entertainment columnist Sue Mellen reveals the rich past behind a unique cultural treasure.

From humble beginnings in a rickety wharf theater, this vibrant scene has flourished, showcasing classical dramas, contemporary hits, and experimental works. Sue Mellen, an entertainment columnist, explores the historical journey of these theaters, revealing the cultural significance and legacy of the Provincetown Players and their influence on the region's artistic landscape.
