The Cape Playhouse in Dennis brings audiences a fresh spotlight with its new production, ‘Joan’, charting the highs and lows of iconic comedian Joan Rivers.

Running September 3–20, this show offers a vivid glimpse into Rivers’ bold journey from small comedy clubs to the glitz of Hollywood.

Tye Blue directs, while Nicole Parker embodies Rivers’ legendary humor and tenacity in the lead role.

Executive producer Melissa Rivers, Joan’s daughter, adds a heartfelt layer of authenticity.

Set in the historic, intimate Cape Playhouse—a venue dating back to 1927—audiences can expect a close connection to the performance.

Tickets range from $50 to $135, and the play is recommended for those 18 and older due to mature content.

September on Cape Cod also boasts events like the Harwich Cranberry Arts & Music Festival and Cape Cod Brew Fest, promising a vibrant cultural season.

Why did the lobster refuse to share his shell on Cape Cod?

Because he was a little shellfish!

Women entering their 50s face an ideal moment to prioritize fitness routines that support lasting health and energy.

Incorporating targeted exercises helps preserve muscle, build bone density, and maintain mobility, all crucial for aging well.

Strengthening moves like planks and push-ups improve core stability and upper body power, while dynamic impact activities, such as knee hops or gentle jumps, boost bone strength and heart health.

Lower body exercises, especially squats (with or without weights), keep the legs and hips strong, supporting daily activities.

Adding heavier weights through combined upper and lower body moves can help maintain valuable muscle mass.

Mobility work, like plank walk-outs, builds flexibility and functional strength.

Consulting a fitness expert ensures workouts are tailored and safe, setting the stage for independence and well-being well into the years ahead.
