Cape Fear Regional is taking steps to make sure we all get the best . . the best in the house that is – the place every theatergoer wants to be and be seen!.
Recently I had the chance to get to hear all the details about the new & improved CFRT experience. I know, I know most times when you hear that phrase it’s more like old and redone but this is not like most times.
Cape Fear Regional Theatre has set out to give every member of their audience the best experience possible by making their entire theatre the best in the house with new seating, new sound, and new air while continuing to give Broadway-quality performances unique to our community stage.
The Best Seats.
Thanks to an anonymous $250,000 Jumpstart Grant Cape Fear Regional Theatre is giving every audience member the best seat in the house!
Taking the old seats to a new level going from red to luxurious blue and increasing the width of seats from 19 to 21, 22 or 23 or 24 inches and depth of each row will gain at least 6 seats from the knees to the back of the chair.
The new seats have been sponsored by patrons dubbed by CFRT as the Seat Squad. Thanks to their donations the theatre needs less than 100 seats left to complete the projects. You can join the Seat Squad yourself and help make sure every seat at CFRT is the best seat in the house!
The Best Sound.
Cape Fear Regional has brought in Sound Designer, Rob Kaplowitz, to give every CFRT show a quality of sound that will finally match the quality of showmanship and performance we have come to enjoy and expect from our theatre.
The Best Air.
Yep. You read that right. Air. Cape Fear Regional Theatre hasn’t stopped at the seats or the sound. They are bringing in a brand new air filtration system designed to be sure even the air quality is the best in the house!
Of all the announcements made during this special Patron event a comment made by Rob Kapolwitz about the importance of a regional theatre resonated with me the most:
“The theatre that’s made out of the community that is for the community and is about a mirror of the community – that’s the theatre that is the most important in my mind.”
The Best is Still To Come: Murder For Two
HOLD YOUR BREATH & BRACE YOUR FUNNY BONES- WE’RE PICKING UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF!!
Get ready for a murder mystery, unlike anything you’ve experienced before! Everyone is a suspect in Murder for Two… One actor plays the investigator, the other plays all 13 suspects, and both play the piano! A zany blend of musical comedy and madcap mystery, this whodunit is highly theatrical and loaded with killer laughs. Join us for last season’s SMASH HIT that SOLD OUT 7 out of 9 performances!
Who will love it: Fans of theatrical storytelling, belly laughing, and true crime will die for this show. PG-13
I’m curious, what’s your favorite genre of theatre?
