In this week's restaurant news on Cape Cod, the Eat Cake 4 Breakfast bakery in Brewster has new owners; The Shallop Bar opened at Pilgrim Monument & Provincetown Museum; and we found a fundraiser in which you can eat some of the prizes. In news you've been waiting for, Nantucket's famous Bartlett Farm opened a second farm in West Barnstable on Memorial Day weekend. Last week, Days on the Pier opened on MacMillan Wharf in Provincetown; folks are celebrating the 16th annual Wellfleet Restaurant Week through June 3; and we took a look at restaurants that have opened in the past our Dinner and a Show feature, we spoke to Cape Rep Theatre director Julie Allen Hamilton about 'Every Brilliant Thing' and recommended two restaurants near the Brewster theater. Here's the most recent news: Eat Cake 4 Breakfast has been purchased by the Nelson siblings. You may know the Nelsons ― Tori, 31, Tara, 30, and Todd F. Nelson Jr., or TJ, 25 ― from the summer of 2023 when they ran the Cousins Maine Lobster truck parked on Route 6A in Yarmouth Port or sometimes at Mashpee Commons. The bakery's founder, Le Cordon Bleu alum Danielle Nettleton, brought her French training to Eat Cake 4 Breakfast when she opened in 2015 and earned a reputation for rich, layered croissants (chocolate and pistachio is a favorite), scones, cookies and Brewster Buns ― a cinnamon roll made with croissant dough. For the past few weeks, Nettleton has been giving the Nelsons a crash course in baking. Although the new owners are, through their website looking to hire a full-time pastry chef, they also want to know how everything is made. The siblings said they are aiming to re-open in early to mid-June, with all of Nettleton's specialties. 'We know how many people love this place and we want to keep it just the same for them,' TJ Nelson said. But the new owners are also eventually looking to add some lunch sandwiches, fancy coffee drinks and gelato ― as well as extended hours. When they get to the point of adding some of their own baked goods, the siblings said, the first will be a chocolate snack cake with cream filling that they grew up making with their great aunt, Louise Romano, who died a few weeks ago. Nettleton said Eat Cake 4 Breakfast sold for $1.35M with the property. She said she is moving to Litchfield County, Connecticut, to raise her daughter with the help of family.

The Shallop Bar will be 'captained' by the monument's new food and beverage director Greg Whittle, according to the post.

We'll be here every day from 10 a.m.– 6 p.m., ready with farm-fresh goods, local favorites, and everything you need to brighten up this soggy start to the weekend," Bartlett Farm staffers wrote on the farm's Instagram.

Virginia Stage Company loses $15,000 to NEA funding cuts
NORFOLK , Va. (WAVY) — Another local arts organization faces a significant loss of funding due to federal cuts, as Norfolk's Virginia Stage Company works to navigate forward short of needed grants. Virginia MOCA loses federal education grant The Virginia Stage Company, which has been in existence since 1978, is one of many arts groups nationwide affected by the withdrawal of National Endowment for the Arts funding. Its producing artistic director fears things may only get worse. 'This is the first time where grants have been rescinded because of a political agenda,' said Tom Quaintance, Virginia Stage Company's producing artistic director. 'And, that's scary.' Those emotions echo among arts groups who received the same email early this month about previously awarded grants by the National Endowment for the Arts — now terminated. Quaintance said they were blindsided by the email. but this was certainly not the first indication of this funding being under attack. Loss of funding to federal agencies could impact Va. libraries, museums The NEA's correspondence stated that VSC's programs do not meet funding standards that 'reflect the nation's rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President.' 'We got notification that an NEA grant that we had already been approved for, for $15,000 to support 'Every Brilliant Thing,' a play that we tour around all of Virginia, that is a piece that deals with mental health and suicide prevention,' Quaintance said. The loss of the NEA funding entirely would also dissolve funding for the Virginia Commission for the Arts and city of Norfolk, who receive financial backing from the NEA to support organizations like the VSC. 'The fact [is] that the NEA has been instrumental in some of the most interesting and important work we've done here at Virginia Stage Company,' he said. 'And the idea that art should fit a certain agenda and then that it is not important enough to include in the federal budget, those ideas are important.' Approximately half of the Virginia Stage Company's budget comes from donations, whether state, federal or individual. 'Our mission is to serve our broadly diverse community to to be a place for people to come together and grow as a community,' Quaintance said. 'And that takes funding. It takes funding from individuals. It takes funding from corporations. It takes funding from the government. And if that funding disappears, you're going to see, theaters, operas, symphonies, museums, you're going to start seeing folks closing.' President Trump has proposed eliminating the NEA entirely from the 2026 federal budget, which would be the end of the largest annual supporter of the arts in the U.S. The Virginia Stage Company has appealed the rescinded offer and is waiting to hear back.

Highly successful play Every Brilliant Thing tours Upper Egypt, Delta - Stage & Street - Arts & Culture
Following the success of its previous performances, Every Brilliant Thing, a play directed by Ahmed El-Attar, will embark on a special tour across Upper Egypt and the Delta in April and May 2025. Every Brilliant Thing is a play written by Duncan Macmillan in the 2010s that tells the story of a heartfelt journey through a mother's suicidal depression and its repercussions on her family. Highly innovative, it has seen great success on stages in the UK and worldwide. Ahmed El-Attar, who also worked on the mise-en-scene, translated and adapted the play into Arabic. The translation was part of a bigger project titled "Theatre in Translation," which aimed to translate 24 contemporary plays by European playwrights into Arabic, each representing a different European country. In its Egyptian version, the play features the Cairo-based Syrian actress Nanda Mohamed as the protagonist of the monodrama. The play uses cultural connotations related to Egypt, making it very accessible to viewers, who are, at times, invited to participate in the performance. The cultural references and interactions with the audience make the play particularly engaging and add a breeze of warmth to the otherwise somber topic of one of the worst psychological ailments. Another component emphasising hope is the list of "all brilliant things" that Nanda experiences in life, which is partially read during the performance. Read the full review here. The play was staged several times in Cairo, receiving a full house on each consecutive run. It proved equally successful in its staging in Lebanon, at Beirut's Zico House and Studio Laban and Sharjah, UAE. "The upcoming tour is part of a broader vision to bring contemporary theatre to a wider audience in Egypt, offering an interactive experience that celebrates life's small joys," reads the press release. "The play invites audiences to actively participate in shaping the performance, making each show a unique and immersive experience. Supported by the British Council, the tour provides more audiences the opportunity to enjoy a theatrical journey filled with emotion and humor." The tour will bring this special performance to several cities, including Assiut and Minya in Upper Egypt and Alexandria and Mansoura in the Delta. The programme of the tour is as follows: Assiut – El-Samayeen Theatre – 8 and 9 April, 7pm Minya – Jesuit Theatre – 11 and 12 April, 7pm Alexandria – Jesuit Theatre – 30 April and 1 May, 7pm Mansoura – Misr Public Library – 3 and 4 May, 7pm Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
