I Am a Camera, by John Van Druten, June 26 - July 19: Inspired by Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories, John Van Druten draws an affecting portrait of young people trying to come to terms with their hopes and dreams as the decadence of the Weimar Republic gives way to the relentless evil of the Nazi Reich.

Who's behind these terrifying apparitions? One thing is certain: evil is once again stalking and it seems only the Surfside Snoops can bring it to bay. Written and directed by Stephen Russell.
The Julie Harris Display, now - September from noon - 6 pm: As part of WHAT's 30th Anniversary Season tribute to Julie Harris, WHAT has curated a memorial display in an effort to inform the public of Julie's deep relationship with theatrical organizations and individuals on Cape Cod.
