Event summary

Highlights

Set in a Provincetown bar on the last day of August 1963
Second season performances held at the Pilgrim House in 2026
Focuses on themes of community and the 'end of summer' transition

Created by musician and writer Richardson, "The Jack of Hearts Club" is a musical drama that captures the atmosphere of Provincetown’s queer history. The narrative takes place just before closing time on August 31, 1963, a period when the tip of Cape Cod functioned as a seasonal safe haven that would shift abruptly as visitors departed. The ensemble cast portrays characters including bar owners and those seeking solace, all facing significant life changes as the summer ends.

In 2026, the production celebrated its second season at the Pilgrim House, drawing enthusiastic audiences. The show's creator has recently expanded the project's reach with an original cast recording and workshops in other regions, though the performance remains deeply rooted in the local P-town culture. The production concludes its annual run at the end of August, mirroring the seasonal transition depicted within the play itself.
