The Cape Cod Playhouse

A couple of weeks ago, we ventured to the Cape Cod Playhouse (820 Route 6A, Dennis Village) to see a production of The Hound of the Baskervilles.
This three-man play was entertaining!  We entered the playhouse with the expectation of a serious and solemn production and were amused by the unexpected comedic angle.

The playhouse itself is the country's oldest professional summer theater.  The exterior boasts an oversized awning and traditional Cape Cod siding.
The interior is utterly rustic with rows and rows of dark wood and a matching beamed ceiling.  Surprisingly, this was my first time at the playhouse and we are already planning a return trip.
Because we sat in the balcony, our tickets cost only $30 per person. However, main-floor seats are pricier, as are tickets to musicals.
Every two weeks, the theater presents a new play.  As Bees in Honey Drown is next, followed by Ain't Misbehavin', Legally Blonde, Kiss Me Kate, and Nunsense.  Check the program because there are also performances for children ranging from The Wizard of Oz to magic shows.  Here are links to the general program and the children's page:
