COTUIT – Cotuit Center for the Arts’ 2nd Wednesday Theater will present a staged reading of “The Mooncusser’s Tale,” on May 9th at 7:30.
Described as a poetic ghost story, “The Mooncusser’s Tale” is based on legends of the notorious mooncussers, who were land-based pirates who haunted the shores of the Outer Cape in the days of the great sailing ships. Set in the 19th century, the tale revolves around the greed and betrayal that threaten the family of Captain Ephraim Bowers.
Second Wednesday Theater is a play-reading series of rarely performed classics, undiscovered gems, and exciting new works.
Admission is always free, and wine is available for $5 a glass.
The center is located on Route 28. For more information, visit artsonthecape.org or call 508-428-0669.
