About the Cape Cod Melody Tent

The Cape Cod Melody Tent is owned and operated by a non-profit organization called South Shore Playhouse Associates. The organization is dedicated to supporting arts, culture, and education throughout Cape Cod. The theatre, located in Hyannis, MA, operates “in the round” meaning the audience is seated surrounding the stage. Cape Cod Melody Tent and its sister venue, South Shore Music Circus, are the only two tent theatres continuously-operated in this fashion in the United States.

Beginning in 1932 as a small summer theatre, the venue has developed into a popular destination that offers amazing theatrical and musical performances. It has undergone significant changes since its humble start. The modern theatre now features state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment, a new stage, computerized technology systems, and more. Stadium seats replaced the previous canvas chairs and the seating chart was redesigned to increase capacity from 1,000 to 2,300 seats. However, the theatre still provides an intimate setting, with each seat placed within 50 feet of the stage.

Cape Cod Melody Tent Events

From performances by famous country artists and award-winning bands to Kidz Bop shows and productions of storybook classics, Cape Cod Melody Tent features some of the best entertainment on Cape Cod. The venue has a long history of hosting world-famous performers including ABBA, The Temptations and the Four Tops, Heart, Jake Owen, Chicago, A Flock of Seagulls, and more.
