Fay Jacobs’ NEW Show at CAMP Rehoboth
CAMP Rehoboth and Fay J. Productions are collaborating to bring Rehoboth writer and sit-down comic Fay Jacobs to CAMP Rehoboth on Friday, September 23.
She will premier Aging Gracelessly: Still Rock ‘n’ Roll to Me—a whole new show, new stories, new advocacy, and new laughs.
Fay will be on stage in the Elkins-Archibald Atrium at CAMP on September 23, with shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at camprehoboth.com.
Fay has toured in the US since 2015, updating her original show several times. But now it’s time for a whole new script, still hilarious and heartfelt, but a fresh look at our Rehoboth lives and her latest take on aging, gay rights, and dystopian current events.
At its core, the show highlights the author’s insistence that nothing is ever so horrible if it’s worth the story you can tell. The show has Fay’s signature humor and relatable stories for everyone about life, liberty, and the aging process.
“I broke into show biz at an age where I’d more likely break a hip,” Jacobs says, “so losing two years in my new “career” because of the COVID pandemic was significant. I mean life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.”
The new show is based in part on her writing for Letters from CAMP Rehoboth and her award-winning column in Delaware Beach Life. Among many venues, Fay has performed in Provincetown, Asheville, New Hope, New Orleans, and all over Florida.
She’s performed the show aboard an Olivia cruise and at the legendary Duplex Cabaret on Christopher Street in New York’s Greenwich Village. She’s gone international now, having just returned from a show in Ontario, Canada.
There is limited seating. Get your tickets now at camprehoboth.com! ▼
