The Clemans Theater for the Arts is the new permanent home of the East Lynne Theater Company in Cape May, NJ. Located in the historic Allen AME Church, the landmark was built in 1888 and suffered significant fire damage in 2018. In 2022, Stages and Mills + Schnoering Architects provided a concept study to revitalize the historic landmark. Stages provided a new configuration study in 2025 for the East Lynne Theatre Company to explore fixed and flexible seating options to provide more creative staging opportunities, a variety of audience and staff circulation options, and new technology.
