Performances at the Cape Cod Repertory Theatre, 3299 Rte. 6A, East Brewster, about 2 1/2 miles east of Brewster center (tel. 866/811-4111 or 508/896-1888; www.caperep.org or www.capetix.com), are given Tuesday to Saturday at 8pm from early July to early September. In summer, this shoestring troupe tackles the Bard, as well as serious contemporary fare, at a 200-seat outdoor theater on the old Crosby estate (now state-owned and undergoing restoration). Tickets for outdoor performances are $28. In season, they also put on a Broadway musical-dinner revue Sunday and Monday nights at the Old Sea Pines Inn ($55 fixed price). Off season they perform at various locales. Call for off-season hours.
Hot local bands take the tiny stage seasonally at The Woodshed, at the Brewster Inn & Chowder House, 1993 Rte. 6A (tel. 508/896-7771), a far cry from the glitzy discos on the southern shore. If your tastes run more to Raitt and Buffett than techno, you'll feel right at home in this dark, friendly dive. Cover charge $5.
