Cape May Stage: kalamazoo Event

Cape May Stage: kalamazoo

  • Location: Cape May Stage - 405 Lafayette Street
  • Starts: 8:00 pm

When two cautious strangers meet later in life, polite conversation quickly takes flight — sparked by sharp wit, surprising confessions, and a shared love of birds. As Peg and Irving navigate the tender awkwardness of starting over, they discover that hope can appear when you least expect it. Witty and uplifting, Kalamazoo is a sophisticated romantic comedy about second chances, unexpected connection, and the courage to spread your wings at any age.
