The Craft Beer, Music & Crab Festival is presented by Cape May MAC (Museums+Arts+Culture) and sponsored by PNC Bank, with additional support from Gold Coast Production Management, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, DeSatnick Real Estate and Coastal Marketing Group RE/MAX Surfside.

From the select group of living direct descendants of U.S. presidents, only one steps into the role of his presidential ancestor on stage. Actor Clifton Truman Daniel brings to life his grandfather, President Harry S. Truman, in this fall’s production “Give ’Em Hell, Harry!” at Cape May Convention Hall, 714 Beach Ave. on Sunday, Oct. 10 at 5 p.m. The performance is a faithful and often humorous portrayal of President Truman’s life and presidency that has garnered awards and accolades since its premiere in 1975. Since October 2017, Daniel has performed the role, marking the first time a U.S. president has been portrayed onstage by a direct descendant.
