Cape May Acting Workshop Offers Creative Stage Experience for All Levels

 

 Classic American Tales is offering a spring theater workshop for ages 17+ led by Gayle Stahlhuth, culminating in a public performance at End of the Road Theater on May 24. The workshop includes four full-group rehearsals and individual sessions, with a focus on collaboration and creativity. The program is supported by funding from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Cape May County Division of Culture & Heritage, along with community donations. OceanFirst Bank serves as the season sponsor, and CAT is partnered with NJREV.  The $80 fee includes the chance to earn proceeds from the final show. Interested participants can register and pay online through End of the Road Theater or pay in person. For more information or to speak directly with Stahlhuth, contact her at [email protected] or call 609-884-5898.  

Proposed Cutbacks to Police Force Spark Council Dispute

 A proposed reorganization of the Stone Harbor Police Department would eliminate two positions and reduce the number of sworn officers to save money. Disagreements arose among council members over whether the police chief supports the plan, though he clarified he only submitted it under pressure to cut costs. The reorganization has faced pushback from the department’s union, especially with contract negotiations unresolved. A public hearing and possible vote are set for April 15.

Cape May’s Curbside Recycling Rules Head Toward April Vote

 Cape May introduced a new ordinance to limit curbside recycling collection for homes and businesses. Residential pickups will be capped at 192 gallons, with restrictions also set for commercial properties. Excess recycling must be handled privately. The ordinance, refined over several months, includes provisions for city manager discretion and allows self-transport to recycling centers. A public hearing and possible adoption are expected on April 15.
