A decaying drive-in comes to life with stories of lighthouses, naughty little girls and places you imagine remembering. So sit back, relax, refrain from loud talking and rough-housing, turn off your headlights, enjoy some tasty popcorn, put litter in its place, keep an eye on your children, think about how happy we could be, and remember that this country is full of dark, dark places along dark, dark roadways where dark, dark things can happen.

The Debate Society’s fourth full-length play transforms the performance space into their own version of a drive-in theater to present an intimate and absurd perspective of classic Americana. The Brooklyn based play-makers conjure a road trip epic wherein “The lives, desires, and memories of various passengers take a number of sharp and darkly comic turns over the course of one night, dissolving into three studies of bittersweet disenchantment.” (The New Yorker)

"The Debate Society certainly doesn’t disappoint in this bizarre but deeply winning homage to the drive-in cinema of yore." -The New Yorker

"Filled with more funny and spellbinding moments than just about any other production on or off Broadway." -The Gothamist

"Cape Disappointment is a wonderful gift of a show. It is haunting, gentle, elliptical, poetic, humorous, bittersweet, occasionally startling and intense but always true." -Culturebot

"Lush stagecraft and atmospheric bliss… A singular experience of high style and excellent craftsmanship. The best play by The Debate Society yet." -Offoffonline

"Four stars. Critic’s pick." - Time Out New York

"A bizarre and thrilling new play." -Show Business Weekly
