BRIGADOON

July 28th – August 14th
7:30 PM
July 30, August 4th, 8th, 11th and 13th
2:00 PM.

“Brigadoon” tells the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every one hundred years, though to the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night. The enchantment is a blessing to the villagers because it saved them from foreboding destruction by witches in “the outside world”. However, according to their covenant with God, no one from Brigadoon may ever leave the town or the enchantment will be broken, and the village and all its inhabitants will disappear into the mist forever. Two American hunters, lost in the Scottish Highlands, stumble upon the village and their arrival has surprising implications. New Yorker Tommy Albright, who is searching for a cure to his melancholia, meets the lovely Fiona McLaren who is also waiting for the love of her life. It is love at first sight. Tommy’s jaded traveling companion Jeff Douglas meets the bawdy milkmaid Meg Brockie but to Jeff, the entire day is a dream because none of it makes logical sense. Also on this day, Fiona’s younger sister Jean is wed to handsome Charley Dalrymple in a ceremony complete with a traditional sword dance. But young Harry Beaton, in love with Jean and broken-hearted over the wedding, threatens to leave the town and break the enchantment.

Tickets may be purchased by calling 800-427-6160 or in person at the CRT Box Office at 37 Franklin Street in Cortland. Tickets are also available for sale 24 hours a day through the CRT website at www.cortlandrep.org.

Regional Premiere of
LAST of the BOYS

Bernard Sheredy (left) and Steven Patterson (right) playing two aging Vietnam vets who've shared a lifetime of friendship, beer and a secret neither wants to discuss

July 29th – August 15th

Thursdays - Saturdays at
7:30 PM
Sunday matinees at
2:00 PM

“Passionate, funny, altogether a knockout - long story short: Don’t miss it” Philadelphia City Paper

Set in 1999, Steven Dietz’s Last of the Boys is a moving, sometimes funny, and always incendiary play about a life long friendship, about how a girl honors her missing father, about how a man deals with the loss of his own, about a hidden conversation that won’t go away. Two vets, sharing beer, whiskey and a secret neither wants to discuss.

Remember America, the mid-late ‘60’s? A war that was unpopular and un-winnable. A lesson we would always remember. 485,000 troops deployed. 59,000 never came home. For many who did, the war, and the public reaction to those returning veterans here at home, took its toll. It’s a story with stunning resonance today. Pick up a Time Magazine from the late Sixties and read the debate between “stay the course” or “cut and run”. That debate still rages. But that debate too often overlooks the real people involved and how their experiences shaped their lives, and ours. Last of the Boys is Ben and Jeeter’s story, first and foremost, but it’s also our story.

Tickets are $18 Thursdays, $19 Fridays & Sundays, and $22 on Saturdays. All performances start on time and there is no late seating. The box office opens one half hour before curtain.

VETERANS DISCOUNT: For all veterans (and companions attending with them), tickets are just $14. Vets need only identify themselves as vets when ordering their tickets.

The 24 Hour Reservation Line accepts reservations at any time at

607 656-8499 (TIXX).

Tickets may be charged to MasterCard, Visa or Discover.

The opening night performance on July 23 is sold out.

Chad (Tom Warner)and Natalie (Danielle Lovier)

The story is all new. The hits are all Elvis. Inspired by and featuring the classic 50’s songs of rock legend Elvis Presley, this hilarious musical comedy guarantees your whole family will be jumpin' out of their blue suede shoes with hits like “Jailhouse Rock,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “It’s Now or Never,” “Hound Dog,” “Love Me Tender,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Teddy Bear,” “Burning Love,” “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” and the title song “All Shook Up.” Written by Joe DiPietro, loosely based on William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” ALL SHOOK UP mixes a little bit of Shakespeare with a whole lot of The King.

It’s the summer of 1955, in a small you-never-heard-of-it town somewhere in the Midwest. During a twenty-four hour period, Chad (Tom Warner), a rovin’ roustabout with a song in his heart, changes the town forever. For the townspeople: Natalie (Danielle Lovier) a young mechanic and her best friend Dennis (David Cotter); Natalie’s widowed father Jim (Todd Ellis), local honky tonk owner Sylvia (Jacque Tara Washington) and her daughter Lorraine (Bianca Grant); straight-laced Mayor Matilda (Christine Lightcap) and her military schooled son Dean (Chris Wiacek); the law enforcing, yet silent, Sheriff Earl (Jimmy Wachter); the curvaceous museum owner Miss Sandra (Danielle Barletta); and the high energy kids of the town (Daryl Acevedo, Nicole Attaie, Taylor Bigelow, Carleena Manzi, Paige Marsteller, Sean McAnaney, Edmond O’Neal, Nina Pelligra, Eddie Powers, Samantha Rey, Jordan Westfall, and Mike Winslow), life will never be the same. ALL SHOOK UP is produced by Christine Lightcap and directed by Shawn Forster, with choreography by Michael Groesbeck and music direction by Roy George. Costumes are by Jeanette Reyner, set design by Navroz Dabu, lighting design by Cindy Shippers, and sound design by Tony Vadala. Brenda Neuss is associate producer.

Take a ride in the country to where the Delaware River begins and fishing and theatre go together in Hancock, NY for this long awaited Play. Pioneer Women will have you laughing and crying as it brings to life a time and place in American History that paved the way for Manifest Destiny. And whether it was right or not people came no matter what the dangers and there were many, especially for women. For some there was tragedy, for others joy and even though they knew it could go either way, they came looking for love, careers, land, a better life, and some for the shear love of adventure. With great western music and good stories, these ladies will tell you just how the west was really won. Once again Ms. Present along with assistant director Bonnie Deforest and Ernest Schenk’s set design brings to the Capitol Theatre stage something enjoyable, meaningful and unique. Our cast: Judy McMahon, Carolyn Christy-Boyden, Talia Saraceno, Kellyann Garcia, Bonnie DeForest, Andrea Odell, Maryann Johnson, and last but not least John Carey.

This is the story of a group of pioneer woman, who together, through thick and thin crossed the vast prairies, deserts and mountains to make their way to Californi-a. Some stopped off along the way and others kept on going. Without men they managed to make it through Indian attacks, drought, child bearing, and hunger. They were needed in the west to civilize the men folk, many who hadn’t seen a woman in years. But they came with the strength to hold any feller up, and the spirit of survival. They were doctors, teachers, writers, mothers, cooks, brides and prostitutes. They added salt to the peppery WEST.

Great acting, Great music, and Great Stories

From the writer of Lend Me a Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo comes a sidesplitting comedy of mistaken identity and harebrained schemes. Leo and Jack are two Shakespearean actors who are so down on their luck that they're playing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge Circuit in Pennsylvania's Amish country. When they read about a rich old woman in York, PA, who is about to die and leave her fortune to her two, long-lost nephews, whom no one has seen since birth, they decide to high-tail it to York to impersonate the two men. It's only when they're a few minutes out of town that they realize that the nephews are in fact nieces, and that they must appear in York as Maxine and Stephanie if they're to collect the loot.

On three different afternoons, he brings women to his mother's apartment while she's at work – a hard-drinking seductress, an actress of questionable sanity, and his wife's best friend. But with no experience in adultery, Barney bungles every attempt.

Plenty of laughs and mid-life angst make LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS a witty comedy with a warm human touch. The Shawnee Playhouse production stars Rob Ramos, Megan Rucidlo, Tessa Slovis, and Kaitie Kaiser.

The production will place the play in the Old West. “King Lear” tells the story of an aging King, now a land baron, who decides to divide his land into three parcels and divide them among his three daughters. But after his pride gets the better of him he withholds the third part from his youngest daughter, Cordelia, and instead gives all to his two older daughters, Regan and Goneril. This turns out to be a tragic mistake. Many lives are then lost.

“King Lear” features many performers returning from past years’ Shakespeare productions and a few new faces as well. Mike Arcesi who last year directed “Merry Wives of Windsor” plays “King Lear”. Rick Mertens, a well-known area performer plays the much maligned Gloucester, and Stacey Oropello plays the King's youngest daughter Cordelia. The cast also includes Brett Nichols, Julia Mahar, Jason Walsh (who played Othello in the 2008 production), Leith Transue, Samantha Sloma, Josh Sedelmeyer, Adam Ruff, Charles Berman, John Murray, Mickey Ray and more.

The production will be the first EPAC Shakespeare in the Park production to be performed in the newly built Stage at Little Italy located in The George W. Johnson Park on Oak Hill Avenue in Endicott.

Sunday, August 8th, 2010
2:00 PM

Mart Crowley’s 1968’s The Boys in the Band, is a groundbreaking work in American theater, the first truly honest portrayal of the lives of contemporary homosexuals. At a time when gay characters were seldom seen in commercial media except as crude stereotypes, this play presented a well-rounded view of “the homosexual milieu.”

Taking place on New York’s posh Upper East Side, the play concerns nine men celebrating the birthday of one of their friends: Michael, a lapsed Roman Catholic alcoholic who is undergoing psychoanalysis; Donald, who has moved far from the city to spurn the homosexual lifestyle; Harold, whose birthday it is, is morose about losing his youthful looks; Bernard, an African American who still pines for the wealthy white boy of the house where his mother was a maid; Emory, who revels in his homosexuality; and Larry and Hank, a couple that lives together despite the fact that they do not agree on the issue of monogamy.

Joining them are a male prostitute, Cowboy, who has been hired as a “present” for Harold’s birthday and Alan, an old college friend of Michael’s, who claims to be straight but who becomes a little too emotional when his manhood is threatened and who is strangely reluctant to leave each time he says he is going. To be presented as a “period piece”, this production of THE BOYS IN THE BAND will show how far Gay rights have come and much further they have to go.

WIGDICULOUS

Charles Pierce was one of the earliest and most renowned female impressionist, or as he preferred to title himself, a male actress!

"Wigdiculous", takes place on the night that Charles Pierce "comes full circle", making his farewell performance at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first performed many years ago. His dresser hasn't shown up, and while nervously waiting his appearance, Charles reflects on his life, the Hollywood legends he's portrayed and most of all, his love for his life partner, who booked this final show, but never lived long enough to be there with him.
