Cast of Young Dracula 




Undertow 

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence 


Jeff Sharkey, Terry O’Brien 

You can all exhale (as I’ve been doing 

for several days straight), the long 

national nightmare is over. Young 

Dracula has come and gone. It had a 

beginning, a middle and an end and 

nobody got hurt so... the metric by which I 

measure the baseline success of a show. On 

top of that, it was also a hell of a lot of fun. I 

had forgotten how much I enjoyed prowling 

the stage spouting stupid jokes, one-liners and 

ad-libs (of which there were plenty, as, though 

I remembered a shockingly high percentage of 

my lines, there were a few, uh, gaps to be filled). 

The run up to the show was fraught, with 

weather delaying it by a day (sorry to the guests 

who could not make the switch from Monday 

to Tuesday, you missed a good time), no idea 

what the stage was going to look like (Ryan 

Long and his Riddlesbrood Touring Theater 

Co. trucked down this mobile stage rig, which 

was awesome, but we didn’t see it until day-of) 

and my very deep concern that the show would 

not go over very well (a concern that had me 

flop-sweating when the first scene in the first 

show went laugh-free despite several of my 

brilliant jokes). 

But those worries swiftly passed as the 

day wore on. Despite some morning sprinkles 

the weather held off and the grey, overcast 

skies actually became part of the scenery, the 

stage and set came together beautifully and 

once everyone understood it was that kind of 

show (think Blazing Saddles meets Airplane), the 

laughs were loud and plentiful. 

My castmates all settled in and, once we 

got going, it was like falling off a bike. Amanda 

Brough was Laurel to my Hardy as Mrs Leach, 

the grumpy housekeeper in constant gastrointestinal 

distress. Jeff Sharkey was suitably stupid 

as Ben Fields (Renfield?). I wrote this part 

for myself and originated it in 2017, but Jeff’s 

inherent, natural stupidity lifted it to a whole 

new level. (ZING!) Miranda DeLong brought 

her millennial angst and cutie-patootiness to 

the part of Carolina Franklin, her lovelorn character 

getting some of the biggest laughs of the 

night. Lisa Weck brought a vapid innocence to 

the part of Isabella, Dracula’s daughter, which is 

a real feat of acting as Lisa is neither vapid nor 

innocent. And Kevin Ebner did some Capital 

A ACTING! as Nevada Smith (totally not a 

rip-off of Indiana Jones) and was something 

of the company cheerleader; as Kevin goes, 

we go. Also helpful was Taran Christen, who 

played all of our sound cues at the right times 

and, more importantly, fed the title character 

the lines he could not remember. 

Finally, there was me, the glue that held our 

gears together, the sugar in our gas tank, the 

iceberg right ahead. To call this show dumb is 

an insult to the word dumb. Gloriously, delir-

iously stupid defines it better. So 

dumb we enter this kind of tantric 

zen where everything disappears 

into a swirling vortex of stupid. It’s 

really my crowning achievement. 

Most importantly, both shows 

were nearly sold out (65+ at the 

4:30pm seating, 75+ at the 7pm) 

meaning the 2021 West Cape May 

Christmas parade will be getting 

a decent chunk of change ($2720 

to be precise), thanks to all of you 

who attended. 

Major, major props are due 

to the kitchen and wait staff who 

did remarkably well, with the first 

show starting on time and the 

late. Lily Collins as the title character 

is very engaging and the 

story, while a trifle, keeps moving. 

It also confirms what I’ve long 

suspected — French people are 

snooty assholes. 

Driving 45 minutes to the 

nearest Chick-Fil-A with my kids 

and ordering $70 worth of food 

while getting nothing for myself 

is the bravest thing I’ve ever done 

as a parent. 

My delivery route got off to a 

flying start when my alarm went

is my alarm set for Wednesday 

morning? Delivery is Thursday!”

Like a good courtroom drama? Who 

doesn’t? Start with the fight for justice, 

throw twists and turns, and add a surprise 

witness. You have one person to 

thank for the modern-day courtroom 

drama — Perry Mason. Well, you can’t thank 

Mason — because he’s fictional. He is one 

of the most successful fictional trial lawyers 

ever. In fact, he’s the undisputed leader. 

Written by Eric Stanly Gardner, Perry 

Mason first appeared in the 1930s editions 

of Saturday Evening Post and Toronto Star 

Weekly. The novels began in 1933 with two 

published nearly each year for more than 30 

years. My favorite titles in the series — The 

Case of the Lucky Legs, The Case of the Caretaker’s 

Cat and The Case of the Stuttering Bishop. Don’t 

write’m like that anymore! 

The three best-selling book series of all 

time? First, Harry Potter, second, Goosebumps, 

and third, Perry Mason. Nancy Drew, Twilight and 

Lord of the Rings are further down that list. 

I picked up the stories with reruns of 

the TV series that ran before my time — 

The Movie Column 

By arts columnist Tom Sims 

1957-1966. The legendary Raymond Burr 

played Mason — and he captured the folklore 

famously. He took on impossible cases with 

even more impossible odds. He called in surprise 

witnesses. He drew confessions from 

wrongdoers right there on the stand! Sound 

familiar, Law and Order fans? Thank Mason! 

HBO released its first season of a reimagined 

Perry Mason earlier this year. It was well 

done! Set in the 1930s, it had a look and feel 

that was unmistakably nostalgic for the era. 

Robert Downey, Jr., producer, was going to 

play the title character. Schedules conflicted, 

so the story goes, and Matthew Rhys takes the 

part. It’s just as well, after Downey’s Sherlock 

Holmes could I have taken him seriously? 

You may remember Rhys as the journalist 

opposite Tom Hanks in A Beautiful Day in the 

Neighborhood last year. He is exceptional as 

Mason, who takes on tough cases, but only 

one the whole season. He seems more desperate 

in this series than he ever was in real life 

— oh, I mean in the show from the 60s. We get 

more backstory in 2020 than what I remember 

from the Burr series. 

Rhys’ Mason drops more F-bombs than 

Burr or any other adaptation ever did! For me, 

that was a little off putting at first. And the 

story can drag a little — not enough to lose 

me, just enough to notice. But the authenticity 

of the sets, props, and fashion start to balance 

that out. In the end, the acting, characters, and 

courtroom drama is outstanding. I’d give a 

second season a try. Mason still got it.

The Old Fogey 

Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur 

We shall not talk of trick or treating 

again. We are embarrassed 

and contrite over the explosion 

in the wee small hours that 

scattered chunks of pumpkin 

and at least two Wildwooders over a large 

part of the city. It wouldn’t have happened 

if our lanterns had been carved from the 

traditional turnips rather than 3,000lbs of 

mushy pumpkin: turnips are small, hard 

and cheerless and the mere act of hewing the 

inside out leaves a grown man weak. 

Pumpkins, on the other hand, are soft as 

an Englishman (as Ma used to say... hmm, 

there’s a theme here but I can’t quite grasp it) 

and virtually carve themselves, leaving the 

creative and drunken Hallowe’en-ers time 

and energy to, say, think it would be amusing 

and spectacular to stuff the insides with 

gunpowder, and then stand around slackjawed 

as the fuse burned down. 

But no more: I doubt we will ever we 

scrub the stench from our rooftops and 

pavements, and I fear more that those empty-headed 

Wildwooders, who regained what 

passes for consciousness in their ilk and 

staggered away bumping fists and shouting 

“duuuuuuude! Best ride ever!” and vowing to 

make it “#1” on the Wildwood Party Calendar 

next year (I, too, am puzzled as to how they 

managed to pronounced the hashtag symbol). 

Obviously, we will blow the bridges on 

October 30 next year, but they are a cunning 

lot, and have in the past been known to pop 

up out of drains, giving Cape May the apperance 

of a giant wack-a-mole game. 

Anyway, we are done. Our focus now 

needs to be on Thanksgiving. Obviously I 

have mixed feelings on that day: I did after 

all counsel against assisting the settlers: 

“They’re not to be trusted,” I said, “look at 

their pale faces and shifty eyes! They will 

take our food, then before we know it there 

will be strange self-propelled metal carriages 

running all over our land, and vast 

boxes full of fat people and cheap un-nutritious 

food. 

“Also, check out the blankets they’ve 

given us... is that a scab in one? I’m not 

wrapping myself in THAT!” Obviously 

I had a touch of what granny called The 

Gift, that very same preternatual sense 

that shortly after had me quietly assume 

the identity of a white fop of means. We’ve 

always had a knack of being on the winning 

side, us D’Caturs. Except at The Alamo. And 

Waterloo. And possibly Culloden, if my suspicions 

are correct

CAN’T MISS! 

Celebrate the onset of sweater weather 

if you like, but I prefer to think of 

October as the beginning of teatime. 

Tea is more than just six ounces of 

hot liquid in a pretty cup. It’s a bit 

of magic, an invitation to chat and a nod to 

America’s roots. 

Tea was born with a hint of whimsy almost 

5000 years ago when wild leaves blew into 

Emperor Shen Nung’s hot water. The brew 

caught on, not only as a refreshing beverage, 

but as a cure for several illnesses. It seemed 

like magic — tea can somehow energize 

lethargic patients and reduce insomnia, calm 

the brain and provoke thought and stimulate 

the appetite and reduce fat. Science recently 

identified compounds in tea that explain these 

effects, but other tea benefits remain mysterious. 

Somehow, it seems that whatever 

the question is, tea provides the answer. An 

invitation to share a cup is a tongue loosener 

— there’s a reason “spilling the tea” is slang for 

revealing the truth. Perhaps that’s the explanation 

for accuracy among fortune tellers who 

The Activity Column 

Catherine Dugan’s guide to staying in... this week, enjoy a cup of tea! 

read tea leaves — we reveal more than we 

intend as we sit and sip. Some mediums will 

pour an extra cup for the spirits who might 

visit during a seance. Others will use tea-like 

infusions in cleansing rituals designed to signal 

ghosts that it’s time to leave, just as a host 

might serve it to signal that the party is over. 

Around election time, tea can help 

Americans remember our rebellious birth. 

Though the Boston Tea Party in 1773 was an 

unpopular protest condemned by the likes of 

George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, 

the Crown’s over-the-top reaction in the form 

of the “Intolerable Acts” fueled revolutionary 

fervor and led to the first Continental 

Congress. Boston’s small rebellion led to large 

rebellion — the Declaration of Independence 

was treasonous and had things gone the other 

way, all signers could have been executed with 

their survivors left penniless. The least we can 

do to show our gratitude is cast a ballot. 

Cape May offers many places to enjoy a 

cup of tea, from Coffee Tyme to Avalon Bagel 

to Tommy’s Folly. At Magic Brain on Perry 

Street, you can add a scone or other pastry. 

You’ll find the perfect brew for your needs 

at Tea by the Sea — lavender to soothe you, 

lemon to perk you up, strawberry daiquiri 

tea if you’re already missing summer. There 

are also wine bags and cookbooks for your 

holiday shopping. Love the Cook has great 

coffee and a wide selection of teas, along with 

a magical scone mix you can’t miss.

Fall is Fire Table Season at Cape May Wicker! 

Now is the time to set out your feeders 

to attract wintering species. 

The large number of Pine Siskins 

moving through suggests this will 

be a winter marked by large numbers 

of winter finch like siskins and Purple 

Finches. Evening Grosbeak? You should be 

so lucky, but not impossible. Platform feeders 

or large hopper feeders loaded with black-oil 

sunflower seeds is the secret to attracting 

this portly bulbous-billed finch. However, you 

may not want swarms of grosbeaks at your 

feeder. The “grospig” as it’s called in some 

quarters can bankrupt your seed budget. 

Pine Siskin’s can also break the bank. 

Siskins and their close cousin the American 

Gold Finch love thistle which is priced like a 

prime cut of steak. You dispense it in special 

tube feeders with small ports or mesh thistle 

socks which the neighborhood gray squirrel 

will chew to pieces, leaving your thistle seed 

in a puddle on the ground. Many sparrow 

species like the mixed-seed blends, especially 

with millet. Avoid blends with corn as an 

Bird Droppings 

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu 

ingredient. This inexpensive “filler seed” is 

shunned by most songbirds and will end up 

under the feeder, attracting rats or mice. 

Another food offering to put out is suet. 

These blocks of kidney fat are relished by 

woodpeckers, nuthatches, jays, Carolina 

Wrens and unfortunately, racoons. Bringing 

your suet in at dusk will save you the trouble 

of searching for it. As for that hummingbird 

feeder, keep it up until a hard freeze. We still 

have several species of western hummingbirds 

that visit our feeder in late autumn. 

What a treat to find a feisty Rufous or Allen’s 

Hummingbird at your feeder. I hope you like 

company — when word gets out, birders will 

flock to your yard to see it. 

Watching birds at feeders is a great way to 

pass the time in this age of COVID isolation. 

Place feeders away from windows or glass 

doors but can still see them. If a bird-catching 

hawk makes birds scatter, you don’t want to 

have fleeing birds hitting your windows. Half 

of all window strikes end in fatality. 

Think of a hawk as another bird coming 

to your feeder. By feeding birds, you are not 

causing them to be killed. Hawks will feed 

twice a day. Your feeding birds means the 

hawk will catch dinner where you will see it. 

Wild Kingdom, right in your own back yard. 

For questions about bird feeding, the 

folks at Cape May Bird Observatory have 

answers. As for seed, Smeltzer and Sons in 

Court House has a fine selection of quality 

seed and suet blocks.

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from 

gentle readers on all manner of relationship 

quandaries, matters of the 

heart and ethics. If you’d like to send 

a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or, 

simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate 

the wisdom herein. 

Dear Answer Lady 

I know Thanksgiving is a month away, but 

our family is already struggling to figure it out. 

My mother is 75 and wants to have all 20 of us 

over — inside, at the dining room table, gagging 

on her dried-out turkey she is so fond of 

making. This a concern on so many levels. My 

kids are in their teens now and want a reprieve 

from it. I am a better cook than my mother, 

but she refuses to give up the apron. And then 

there’s COVID. My siblings are going through 

the same dilemma. What do we do? — Turkey 

Challenge 

Dear Challenge 

I’m afraid you must all put on your big girl/ 

big boy pants and refuse to give in. If any of 

your siblings have been quarantined, then she 

The Answer Lady 

Wise answers to perplexing questions 

should spend the day with them. Since she will 

be the guest of someone else — they can do the 

cooking or opt for Mom’s Dried Turkey Jerky. 

You must be firm on this point as it is a concern 

for her health and your digestion. Smooth the 

blow by calling Cape Winds Florist and order a 

beautiful table arrangement to replace the turkey. 

Then brace yourselves for resistance but as 

the BORG in Star Trek, Next Generation would say, 

“Resistance is futile.” 

Dear Answer Lady 

I’m pretty sure my fiancé is in a texting/ 

flirting situation with my brother. I’ve seen 

both of their cell phones at various times over 

the last month when they weren’t looking. Is it 

serious, I ask myself? I honestly cannot answer 

that, and I think confronting either one of them 

would result in denials and lies, then they’ll 

turn on me for spying on them. The real question 

is where do I go from here? — Suspicious 

Dear Suspicious 

The Answer Lady would suggest two things 

— put a halt to any wedding plans. Use COVID 

as a reason for the delay. Second, see how things 

play out. Since you are already suspicious, you 

will be looking for any evidence of betrayal. BUT, 

if you are this distrustful of the woman you plan 

to marry, you must have had a history of betrayal 

or you are paranoid and jealous. Figure it out — 

this is no way to start a lifetime. While figuring 

it out, October in Cape May is the height of the 

migratory season, take a nature walk to Cape 

May Point State Park. Accentuate the positives. 

Eliminate the negatives.

BEZAIRE 

A Candidate For ALL The People 

Leadership Through Inclusion 

and Cooperation 

Inclusion of ALL is essential for the 

future success of our city. Committee 

appointments shall be open to all and not 

just a select few. Open-mindedness and 

the ability to compromise is essential in 

successfully accomplishing goals. 

Fiscal Responsibility 

You deserve clear and concise monthly 

updates presented at council meetings 

focusing on any deviations affecting the 

city’s financial stability. Curbing spending, 

increasing grants, and long-range fiscal 

planning are key to moving forward 

prudently in this economic environment. 

Project Timelines 

Make a better effort to complete capital 

improvement projects (such as the 

Lafayette Street Park and Soldiers and 

Sailors Park) on time and on budget. 

Protecting and Strengthening 

the City’s Historic Status 

While change is inevitable, we need to 

maintain focus on the core architectural 

and design standards that have protected 

Cape May’s National Historic Landmark 

Status. All upcoming projects, public and 

private, should be required to adhere to 

these standards in order to maintain the 

city’s Historical Designation and unique 

character and charm. 

Task Force for Pandemic 

Economic Recovery 

The city needs a vision and a formal 

plan for moving forward in the current 

pandemic environment. To aid recovery 

for Restaurants, Shops and Tourist 

Attractions, as well as Non-Profits such as 

Cape May MAC, Cape May Stage and the 

Nature Center, the city needs to help them 

adapt to the new normal.
