Musical Director Scott Breiner, along with the cast of 10, performed a 2-hour show on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon to eager audiences, most of which attended the first weekend of opening with Tony nominee Andrea McArdle.

The Gateway Playhouse re-opened after a long nine year renovation headed by the Theater Collaborative of South Jersey and the city of Somers Point. The playhouse will be a year-round operation with plays, musicals, new works, concerts, cabaret acts, and festivals.

Keith D. Cooper is the executive director along with James Dalfonso as president of the Board of Directors.

Next up for the Gateway is a production of "She Loves Me" presented by the Shaken Not Stirred Players for two weekends starting September 22nd. For tickets and info on all productions through 2017, visit www.gatewaybythebay.org or call 609-653-0553.
