Cape Cod Maritime Museum

The ocean off Cape Cod is changing before our eyes—and the stakes couldn’t be higher! Cape Cod’s ocean is not standing still. Powerful shifts in the Gulf Stream and the atmospheric Jet Stream are rapidly reshaping the waters just offshore - altering temperatures, currents, and the very makeup of the continental shelf and slope. These changes are already affecting marine life, commercial fishing, and how we manage and protect our coastal waters.
Join Glen Gawarkiewicz, Senior Scientist in Physical Oceanography at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution , for a clear, compelling look at what’s happening beneath the surface. Blending cutting-edge science with real-world impacts, Glen will explore how ocean fronts move, why the sea around Cape Cod is changing so quickly, and what those changes mean for fishermen, ecosystems, and the future of the region.
Part of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history, conversation, and craft brews.
Admission: $10 per person / $5 for members
Must be 21+ to sample beer; IDs will be checked at the door.
Enjoy craft beer from our sponsor, Cape Cod Beer, along with cheese, crackers, water, and non-alcoholic beer options.
We highly recommend reserving your tickets on our website in advance. Popular events often sell out quickly, and we cannot always accommodate walk-ins. Don’t miss out—plan and secure your spot!

Barnstable Comedy Club

The Barnstable Comedy Club proudly presents THE COTTAGE, a comedy by Sandy Rustin. The show opens on Thursday, May 7 and continues for 3 weekends through May 24 on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM with Sunday matinee performances at 2:30PM. General admission tickets are $30 / $28 for seniors 65+ and students. Group sale discounts are available for parties of 10 or more. Tickets and more information are available online at <a href="https://www.barnstablecomedyclub.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.barnstablecomedyclub.org</a> or by calling the box office at 508-362-6333. 

 Under the direction of Alex Lucchesi, the stellar cast includes Sandy Basile, June Christine Farlin, Charlie McDougal, Glen Porter, Frank Scanzillo and Lizzy Smythe. The stage manager is Sue Boberg.
 From the playwright that took CLUE from screen to stage, THE COTTAGE is an outrageously roaring 20's romp that will have you laughing from start to finish. Set in an English country cottage, a woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband—and her lover's wife. As secrets unravel and passions collide, the meaning of love, identity, and marriage are all thrown into question, and served in a way only the British can serve it: with tea. With shocking plot twists, scandalous reveals, and razor-sharp humor, THE COTTAGE is a deliciously funny hit comedy where no one’s secrets are safe. 
 'The Cottage' is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection.
