The Cape Playhouse is the oldest operating professional summer theater (since 1927) in the US. Bette Davis once worked here as an usher, and some of the biggest names in showbiz have appeared on its stage. It hosts a different production every two weeks – everything from Hairspray to Hitchcock – and also has a children's theater, with classics, puppetry and more.
