The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Thursday, Friday and Saturday
May 17th - 19th
7:30 PM
 

 

Six adolescent overachievers vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime, overseen by grown-ups who haven’t quite managed to escape childhood themselves.  As tensions mount, the participants cope with overzealous parents, teenage crushes, sabotage attempts, and the horrors of puberty, but eventually come to realize that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

The show is directed by Michael Kenna with musical direction by Nolan DeSanto, and choreography by Katie O’Herron. The stellar cast features Danielle Bannister, Steven Hovis, Jeffrey Mathews, Jessica Ossiboff, Liz Schlickbernd and Joshua Streeter as the six contestants, and Randy Cornell, Shayne Jones, and Margaret Kasper Reid as the adults who are overseeing the Bee.  But audience members can expect to see more than just the named cast members up on the stage.

“Before all Spelling Bee performances three or four audience members are recruited to participate on stage with the cast as guest spellers,” says director Michael Kenna.  “And there might be a ‘celebrity’ guest as well.  Audience volunteers are selected through a vetting process that includes questionnaires and lobby interviews with members of the production staff.  Because guest participants are different for each performance, no two Spelling Bees are exactly the same – often with hilariously unexpected results.”

Recommended for mature audiences, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was conceived by Rebecca Feldman and includes music and lyrics by William Finn, a book by Rachel Sheinkin, with additional material by Jay Reiss.  The show will run for six performances at Mandeville Hall at the Clemens Center.

Burlesque: A Las Vegas Review
Vaudeville Remembered:
Traditional Entertainment with New Flair
 
Thursday - Saturday

May 17th - 19th

8 PM

Sunday

May 20th

3 PM

 

 

With more feathers than a peacock convention, the Endicott Performing Arts Center has brought to its stage a delightfully satirical musical ensemble which holds true to its promises of “all the glamour and pageantry of a Las Vegas show.” With 32 musical numbers ranging from hip hop to swing, even some acrobatics and belly dance, this show packs a punch that the entire family can enjoy. The EPAC Repertory Company will present “Burlesque:  A Las Vegas Review”
 
The history of Burlesque dates back far before the 1930’s, beginning originally in Britain in the 14th century as a counter-culture that satirized the most popular performances of the day. This form of satire and comedy became incredibly popular with the middle class in Europe who didn’t really “appreciate” the overly dramatic performances that were so popular with the upper class. In the 1930s, America eagerly caught on to this art form, adding in its own Vaudeville flare with singers, dancers, comedians, and performers of all sorts. It was here that striptease became a crowd drawing factor and Burlesque still garnishes great popularity today, with theaters across the globe that still drawing those willing, thrill seeking audiences.
 
Its focus set for the satire and comedy that made it famous, Burlesque: A Las Vegas Review plans on dazzling its audiences with sequins, feathers, tap dancing the Art of the Tease, and all the entertainment they can possibly pack into 2 acts. Burlesque: A Las Vegas Review presents both old and new alike with such classic songs as “Big Spender” and “Gotta Have a Gimmick,” mixed with modern day music, “Guy What Takes His Time” and “Express.” Under director John Penird, the ladies and gentlemen of this show invite you to share in their laughter and joy in celebrating this standard setting theatrical style, presented by the Endicott Performing Arts Center.

The Wrestling Season

Friday & Saturday
May 18th & 19th
8 PM

 

The Wrestling Season holds up a mirror to high school life, and reflects it back to audiences of all ages. The setting is only a wrestling mat, as we watch eight teenagers struggle with the effects of rumor and innuendo on their high school lives. The cast includes 4 teenage boys and 4 teenage girls as well as one adult actor. Please come prepared to read from the script and talk about how you perceive issues of bullying at your school.
The Wrestling Season will be directed by Scott Austin and is part of our Educational Outreach Program. The central focus of the Rarely Done Production’s educational outreach program is to provide young adults a safe place to dialogue about social issues important to youth. We anticipate accomplishing this objective on two fundamental levels: firstly by producing plays with themes important to the youth population in Syracuse, NY, and secondly, by providing students an opportunity to perform in socially-aware theatre. Some themes the company aims to work with include: bullying, eating disorders and body image, sexism, sexuality, and violence.

Furthermore, the educational outreach performance will be an opportunity for Rarely Done Productions to collaborate with other community-based organizations working in youth advocacy. It is our hope that this collaboration will help the performances reach a more wide-spread audience and facilitate dialogue between different communities in Central New York.

Trying
By Joanna McClelland Glass
Presented by SCOMC Productions


May 18th - 27th

 

May 18th, 20th, 25th and 27th

2 PM

May 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th

8 PM

 

Joanna McClelland Glass shares her inspirational real-life story in this beautifully written play about the internationally known Francis Biddle, (portrayed by Scott E. McIntosh) and his secretary, Sarah Schorr (portrayed by Midge McClosky).

 

The play is set in 1967 when Biddle is 81 years old and trying to put his life in order. Most famous for serving as Attorney General under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Chief Judge of the Nurenberg Trials, Biddle is elegant, but sharply cantankerous; he struggles with the inevitability of his age and failing health. After a series of disappointing failures with secretaries, his wife has forced upon him a new secretary named Sarah Schorr, who is all of 25 years old and pregnant, warily anticipating the birth of her child. Sarah arrives to work with him in his small office over the garage of his retirement home in Washington D.C. Biddle’s ancestry and his position in the centers of American power contrast strongly with her lowly beginnings in small town Saskatchewan. Somehow, the two must find a way to communicate.

Both feeling anxious and unsure, Sarah and Francis are able to become empowered with the help of one another. Sarah is most impressed by Judge Biddle’s formidable memory of his experiences throughout the first three-quarters of the twentieth century. Francis Biddle inspires the young, pregnant secretary to become stronger and more independent. Likewise, Sarah helps Francis to develop the strength to cope with the death of his son, which he has not been able to face. The journey of Francis and Sarah is truly an inspiring one and this richly scripted story illustrates how two strangers, at two dramatically different places in their lives, can unexpectedly and forever influence each other.

 

Tickets: $18 adults, $15 seniors, $10 children

Waiting for Spring

Wednesday - Sunday
May 30th - June 17th

Previews are May 30th, 31st, and June 1st,
Opening Night is Saturday, June 2nd.
 

Spring is finally here, and what a great time for a NEW musical in the Kitchen! Veteran Kitchen Theatre artistic collaborators Rachel Lampert & Larry Pressgrove’s Waiting for Spring is an expansion of Act 2 of their well-received Comfort Food. The production boasts a cast of Broadway veterans.

It’s a snowy day a few days after New Year’s Eve 2006, and Estelle is preparing a perfect dinner. It’s been three years since Estelle’s husband Joe passed away, and every year since, she and her old best friend Stephanie have gotten together on the anniversary to reminisce, laugh and maybe cry a little.  But Estelle’s vegetable chopping and appetizer arrangements are interrupted when a visitor from the past unexpectedly shows up at her front door. Saul was hoping to see Joe, but instead he meets his widow. Snow piles up outside and stories of the past are revealed inside as Estelle and Saul discover that they both have been waiting for Spring. 

The characters in the play have recently taken some direct hits in their lives. They are both hoping for change, but not quite sure how it will happen or who will help it happen. That’s what we started with, and it has been fun to figure out where they end up,” says writer Rachel Lampert.

This world premiere musical sports a score from the musical arranger of [title of show] and the recent Now. Here. This., Larry Pressgrove, with book and lyrics from KTC Artistic Director, Rachel Lampert. Directing Waiting for Spring is NYC director and Kitchen Theatre newcomer Barry Kleinbort. Kleinbort has directed and/or written material for Petula Clark, Marvin Hamlisch, Regis Philbin, Penny Fuller, Tony Roberts, Anita Gillette, and many others. Joining Barry from the city and starring are Broadway veterans Carole Schweid* (an original cast member of the Pulitzer Prize winning A Chorus Line, among many other credits) and Mark Zimmerman* (seen in the recent Broadway revival of West Side Story). *Member, AEA

Musical direction for Waiting for Spring is by Richard Montgomery. Alexander Woodward is the Set Designer, Tyler Perry is the Lighting Designer, Lesley Greene is the Sound Designer, and Lisa Boquist is the Costume Designer. The Production Stage Manager is LaShawn Keyser. Performances will be at the Kitchen Theatre, located at 417 W. State / Martin Luther King, Jr. Street in downtown Ithaca, NY.

The Ladies Man

By Charles Morey,


June 6th - 16th

 

In need of a good laugh? This infectiously charming and zany farce of mistaken identities, near misses and wild coincidences fits the bill perfectly! In Paris, middle aged and recently married Dr. Hercule Molineaux tells “one tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie” to his beautiful young wife in order to hide an embarrassing male “incompetence”. The craziness begins when his ogre of a mother-in-law gets involved, soon joined by an outrageously aggressive female patient, her overly jealous Prussian husband, and a confused patient with an unfortunate speech impediment, all running thru more slamming doors than realistic architecture should ever accommodate. “Freely translated and adapted” from Tailleur Pour Dames by Georges Feydeau

Music and History

Ghosts of the South
I Was There in '67

&
The Madrigal Choir of Binghamton

Saturday, June 16th
Starting at 1 PM

 

Join us for a wonderful afternoon of Music and History at the historical 1810 Juliand House Bed and Breakfast at 2 Juliand Street in Greene, NY.

The Juliand House and Presentarts will feature music by The Madrigal Choir of Binghamton, and two of the three acts in Judith Present’s “War: What’s It For”.

 

The first act will be, "Ghosts of the South", about life during the Civil War.  The second act will be, "I Was There in '67", about the soldiers who went to Vietnam.

All you have to do is bring a delicious lunch, a lounge chair and sit outside and enjoy the show.


The afternoon will start with the Madrigal Choir of Binghamton singing Stephen Foster and the Parlor Music of the 1800’s, and will transition to Folk Music of the 60 & 70. The music introduces the historical play where everyday people that lived through the Civil War and the Vietnam War tell their stories. Ms. Present’s Docudrama will give you a bird’s eye view of those who lived through these wars. 

Through research and interviews Ms. Present has written this piece to show the efforts of those who live on as the raw material of history. It is a memorial to those who went before, and those who are going to war now; each one an individual with their own story. This drama and the beautiful music of the Madrigal Choir  commemorate all who fought as average people; those who rose to the occasion when called upon by their country. 

Foster Daniels Jr., Lane Luangxay, Tony Yajko, Charles Berman, Bonnie Deforest, John Carey, Massiah Spivey, Amman Weaver, Dianna Boyd, Adara Alston, Shawn O’Buckley, Ray Patton and Mickey Ray are the actors that give top-notch performances as each one takes center stage to tell their individual story. The play is written with realism and urgency that could only be told by those who lived it.

The American Dream, Sandbox & Listening
Directed by Michael H. Arve

June 21st - 30th

John W. Borek presents an Evening with Albee

 

The first two plays, The American Dream and Sandbox are about reality vs. fiction, the family trio arrives in these Albee plays almost directly from his real life. The hideously overbearing, materialistic and wicked mother, and the weak father who long ago resigned his own self to her, are Albee's adoptive parents; the sharp-tongued grandma who suffers not-in-silence under her daughter's domestic tyranny is his maternal grandmother Cotter, who died in 1959, and to whom The Sandbox is dedicated. But Albee didn't write these plays merely as an exercise in parent-trashing. His focus was set on something broader -- what we can best appreciate today as the worldview promulgated by "The Donna Reed Show," "Ozzie and Harriet," and their 1950's "peachy-keen" kin. Some were bowled over by the then-young (now-octagenarian) playwright – his Zoo Story was still running at the time -- but some critics were so offended by The America Dream that they wouldn't even review it. Up to this point, Europe had had its Theatre of the Absurd, but Albee was the first to engage it in an American context.

Closing out the evening is Listening which is constructed with the precision of a musical composition, and described by Clive Barnes as "a chamber opera and a symbolic poem about communication," the play juxtaposes three characters — "The Man," "The Woman," and "The Girl" — and sifts through the tangled relationship they have evidently shared. The Man is amiable but distant; The Woman acerbic and bitter; The Girl is perhaps mad — a catatonic who has destroyed her own child. Elliptical in form and redolent with evocative overtones, the play weaves together its strands of conversation and soliloquy into a meaningful pattern of events—underscoring the inescapable fact that while we may listen we do not always hear, and our lives, for better or worse, are shaped accordingly.

The Guys

By Anne Nelson
Directed by Eric Jansen

June 22nd - June 30th

 

Less than two weeks after the September 11th 2001 attacks, New Yorkers are still in shock. One of them, an editor receives an unexpected phone call on behalf of Nick, a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the attack. He’s looking for a writer to help him with the eulogies he must present at their memorial services. Nick and Joan spend a long afternoon together recalling the fallen men through their virtues and their foibles, and fashioning the stories into memorials of words. In the process Nick and Joan discover the possibilities of friendship in each other and their shared love for unconquerable spirit of the city. As they make their way through the emotional landscape of grief they draw on humor, tango, the appreciation of the craft in all its forms –and the enduring bonds of common humanity . The Guys is based on a true story.
