this is a great looking original window card featuring the cape playhouse, located in dennis, massachusetts.
the theatre bills itself as ‘america’s most famous summer theatre.’
before the advent of air conditioning, many people would escape the heat & vacation in cape cod.
since the cape playhouse offered actors paid summer work in a professional theatre, many big-name stars performed there.
this window card celebrates the 50th anniversary of the theatre.
it offers small head shots of stars who performed there.
