Arts and Entertainment Weekend – Going, Going, Gone
March 7 at 7 PM
Where: Avalon Golf Club 1510 Route 9 North Main, Cape May Court House

“Going, Going, Gone” is a play about a playhouse in its final days. Ed’s Auction House is shutting down and everything must go. As the guests arrive they receive play money that can be used to purchase auctioned off items. That’s right the audience becomes a part of the show and actually takes home the items that are auctioned off. What’s in the boxes? No one knows, not even the cast. What is the story behind each item? You find out the same time the cast does. Need more money? Buy more drinks. Want an item? Bid on it. Even if you don’t, bid on it.
