HONORING JOE PANNULLO

Every great theater depends on people whose work is rarely seen, but whose impact is felt by everyone. Joe Pannullo was one of those people.

For many years, Joe was a beloved and familiar presence in Cape May's theater community. Through his service to both Cape May Stage and East Lynne Theater Company, he formed lasting friendships, encouraged artists and volunteers, and inspired countless patrons through his unwavering belief in the power of live theater. His kindness, generosity, quiet leadership, and enduring commitment to the arts left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

To honor Joe's remarkable legacy, East Lynne Theater Company is proud to establish The Joe Pannullo Business Center. Located within the Company's future theater annex, the Business Center will serve as the operational heart of the organization, housing its executive and administrative offices. The new annex—details of which will be unveiled in the coming months—will reshape what is possible for East Lynne Theater Company and help define the next generation of professional theater in Cape May. As the Company builds for the future, it is especially fitting that Joe's name will stand at the center of that vision.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of an anonymous donor, the newly established Joe Pannullo Fund, within East Lynne Theater Company's Capital Campaign, has already received a lead gift of $25,000, bringing us halfway toward the $50,000 needed to permanently establish the Joe Pannullo Business Center.

We now invite Joe's family, friends, colleagues, patrons, and all those whose lives he touched to help complete this lasting tribute. Matching gifts totaling $25,000 are needed to reach our goal.

Every contribution to The Joe Pannullo Fund is more than a donation. It is an investment in the future of East Lynne Theater Company while honoring a man whose generosity, compassion, and dedication enriched Cape May's theater community for decades.

Together, we can ensure that Joe Pannullo's name remains a permanent part of East Lynne Theater Company's future—a daily reminder that great theater is built not only by the artists who take the stage, but also by the dedicated people behind the scenes whose vision, generosity, and commitment make every performance possible.

Donations by check can be mailed to us, made out to “East Lynne Theater Co.” and noting “Joe Pannullo Fund / Capital Campaign” at the following address:
