9-BallWritten and Directed by Art DevineBased on the Original Set Design by Dan JoyCostume Design by Robin McLaughlinLighting Design by Trevor NortonBased on the Original Sound Design by Tim HealyFight Choreography by TJ GlennStage Manager Chelsey Brown
The year is 1967. Over a game of pool, two young men swap identities. One goes to prison; the other to war. Inspired by true events and pulsating with the sights and sounds of the late 1960s, 9-Ball was Art Devine’s hugely successful first play at Cape Rep. First produced in 2001, we are bringing it back for its 25th anniversary with Devine back at the helm.
Art Devine is very well known to Cape audiences as an actor, director and playwright and heads our TheatreLab playwriting classes. 9-Ball is the first of his three world premieres produced at Cape Rep. The set is based on the original design by Dan Joy and the sound design was originally done by Tim Healy. The production team includes Cape Rep resident costume designer Robin McLaughlin joined by lighting designer, Trevor Norton. Fight choreography is by TJ Glenn.
The cast is led by Macklin Devine (Trad) as Richie Feinberg and newcomer Elijah Corbin as Larry Doucette. Jimmy Sawyer (Peter and the Starcatcher), Cam Torres (She Loves Me) and Yakov Schwartzberg (She Loves Me) return to the Cape Rep stage joined by Ju’el Martin, Zack Johnson, Izaak van der Wende and Hugo William Ceraldi making their Cape Rep debuts.
All performances will be in Cape Rep’s Indoor Theater, 3299 Main Street, Brewster. New this season, more matinees! You asked, we listened! We have added more matinees across the season. Check each show’s schedule for exact dates! For further information or to purchase tickets, contact the box office at 508.896.1888 or online at www.caperep.org.

Annual Meeting of the Agawam Historical Association
featured presentation: Meet John Adams: A Lively and Revolutionary Conversation with America’s Second President
Following the election of officers & directors and a short business meeting, George Baker will transport audience members to the Revolutionary era with his engaging and entertaining portrayal of President John Adams. Wearing historically accurate clothing and performing songs from the period, Baker captures the Massachusetts native’s sharp wit, principled leadership, and deep commitment to the American experiment.
Baker has performed his one-man show of President Adams throughout the country, at venues such as the New York Historical Society, Harry S. Truman Presidential Library, Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, and George H. W. Bush Presidential Library, and was featured on National Public Radio's weekend program, Studio 360.
A lawyer by profession, Baker brings clarity and credibility to Adams’s ideas through a blend of history, music, and storytelling, making Adams feel immediate and human, rather than distant and monumental. The program concludes with time for thoughtful audience questions and conversation.
This event is free and open to the public.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Agawam Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
Join Bombyx, the Yiddish Book Center, and Beit Ahavah for an immersive sound experience led by Kleztronica artist Chaia and violinist Rachel Leader.
Chaia is a New York-based artist combining Yiddish archival practice with electronic music. Working in close collaboration with Yiddish folklorists and archivists, she invites audiences to engage with Yiddish ritual, generational trauma, and the echoes of ancestral memory. In this performance, she brings together audio material from a wide range of Yiddish archival sources, creating an auditory “Yiddishland” that transcends borders and time.
Rachel Leader is a klezmer violinist, cultural organizer, and educator based in Northampton, MA. She engages traditional klezmer fiddle style and repertoire to cultivate immersive storytelling experiences, vibrant community contexts, and new visions of Jewish diasporic identity.
The Soundbath will happen in the Peacock Room. It's a synthesis of meditation and therapy; an hour of calm, intention, and introspection. Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, cushion, pillow, or whatever you need to be comfortable.
