NY State Council on the Arts Grant Award
Honors Chenango River Theatre
Eligible for the
first time to apply for New York State Council on the Arts funding, Chenango
River Theatre was awarded the highest amount in the state under the New Theatre
Advancement category. The company was awarded maximum funding of $7,404 and was
the top ranked out of 15 new theatres selected for funding. 12 of the 15
theatres are from NYC, with CRT being one of only three upstate theatres
awarded.
New Theatre Advancement is designed to assist the best of new theatres around
the state increase compensation for actors, designers and directors. This helps
new theatres be more competitive with larger companies that offer higher fees.
Artistic & Managing Director Bill Lelbach said, “The majority of our audience
comes from the greater Binghamton area. Broome County has a great arts support
program for local arts groups – unfortunately we don’t qualify for that program.
And Chenango County has not yet put in place competitive arts funding for which
we’re eligible. Not being eligible for local arts funding has been frustrating.
So a grant award from NYSCA is a huge plus – not just because of the new funds,
though those are important to a young theatre like ours - but because NYSCA
awards are based on recommendations from a professional panel composed of some
of the top theatre people around the state. It says a lot about the quality of
our productions for our application to be rewarded as it has – we’re thrilled
with the results.”
CRT’s 2010 season will be announced in early March and will run from June 4 –
late October, with at least 68 performances currently planned, including the
company’s first production to tour out of the area. To receive a season
brochure, go to

Cortland, NY
CORTLAND REPERTORY THEATRE
Plans Future Expansion!

Cortland Repertory Theatre has announced the purchase of the former
Recreation Bowling Alleys, located at 24 Port Watson Street in downtown
Cortland. CRT has a three-phase plan for the 13,000 square foot building: to
relocate the Box Office and Administration Offices from the current Cortland
location at 37 Franklin Street; then to move the scenic, costume and props
shops and storage; and third, to create a performance space for fall, winter
and spring productions. The theatre plans to begin a capital campaign and
will sell the Franklin Street warehouse.
“The most important point to make is that CRT is not leaving the Little York
Pavilion for our summer productions!” Producing Artistic Director Kerby
Thompson says. “Over the years, CRT and Cortland County have invested a
great deal of time and money to create a comfortable summer home for us all.
As long as the County will have us, we plan to stay there for the summers.
It’s a beautiful location, and frankly, we’d be crazy to want to leave.”
However, the plan for CRT to expand beyond a summer season has been in the
works for a few years. “We’ve looked at different locations for about five
years, in hopes of finding an affordable building that would serve our
purposes.” Thompson says. “The fact of the matter is, we can’t keep raising
ticket prices in order to meet our financial needs. Part of our mission
statement is to offer our shows at an accessible price, and we’re proud that
we’re still the most affordable professional summer theatre in the area.
However, even though our attendance in recent years is the highest it’s ever
been, expenses obviously continue to grow. Due to the size of the Pavilion,
we can’t add more seats, and lengthening our season would be questionable
because of the cool fall weather in an unheated theatre with no insulation.”
Also, Thompson says, CRT has outgrown their warehouse space. “The Franklin
Street building is solid and secure, but we simply don’t have the room to
work there anymore. We save and recycle a lot of wood, set pieces, props and
costumes, so our current storage space is overflowing. Also, most of our set
building is done on our lawn, which is challenging in the changeable Central
New York summer weather. After much searching, we believe that this downtown
building is able to accommodate everything we want and need - more room,
more visibility, and more productions.”
A theatre at the Port Watson location - tentatively called “CRT Downtown” -
would seat 125 - 150 people. The performance space is planned to be one
large open room called a black box theatre, which would allow for a great
deal of creative staging and audience seating. Scenic designs could be
created for shows “in the round”, ¾ round or proscenium style. Audience
seating may include small cabaret style tables, which will allow for snacks
and drinks to be served at the seats. The building will also include a
lobby, refreshment counter, dressing rooms, and upgraded, handicapped
accessible rest rooms. The theatre will double as CRT’s summer rehearsal
space and could also serve as a meeting hall for conferences, receptions,
parties, art and craft shows, and more. “The only limitation is our own
imagination!” Thompson says.
Thompson cautions that significant renovations are necessary, including
ripping down walls and ceilings, installing new electrical wiring, upgrades
to heating and air conditioning, and expansion of plumbing. No definite date
has been set for when CRT would move in, though a goal of Fall 2010 has been
tentatively set for the office and shop relocation. “Actual performances may
be at couple of years away.” Thompson says. “Honestly, it all comes down to
the speed and amount of financial and volunteer support we receive.
Obviously, the quicker we raise the funds and complete the renovations, the
faster we can get the building ready for a winter season. We’re extremely
excited about what this could mean to CRT and downtown Cortland. We’re glad
that we can be part of it.”

DON GIOVANNI PRODUCTIONS
AND
ANGELO ZUCCOLO THEATRE ENSEMBLE
PUBLICITY RELEASE
Don Giovanni Productions wishes to announce the 2010 theatre road tour of Rod Thorn's Italian-American hit comedy, SON FOR HIRE, presented by the noted Angelo Zuccolo Theatre Ensemble.
SON FOR HIRE is a tender, Italian-American
comedy about Sal Indelicato, an Italian barber, whose businessman son
wants him to close the barbershop and retire.
Sal refuses and an estrangement develops between father and son. The son
then hires an out-of- work New York actor to become like a son to Sal,
since the real son cannot
connect with the old man. Here the comedy becomes wonderfully Italian and
moving, as the father and son reconcile. Audience reaction goes from broad
laughter to gentle tears as the play is so clearly a reflection of
Italian-American sensibilities.
Individuals, theaters, organizations and dinner theaters interested in booking SON FOR HIRE should contact Ray Antocicco, booking agent.

Would you like to add your show dates to Curtains Up?
Submit your advertisement INFORMATION (flyer or poster) containing the name of your Theater Group, the name of the show and your director.
Include the Date: Time, Location, & Ticket Prices no later than two weeks before your opening night. (I will copy/paste your info, so if it's in error it will be yours, not mine.)

You are also welcomed to merely send a basic announcement and I'll put that up along with a LINK to your website for further details.
This is a FREE service and is done when I have the time to do it, so I cannot make guarantees as to having your announcements up in time. Accuracy of show dates and times will be copy/pasted from the material you send, so it is up to you to get them right!
All professional and non-professional theater groups on my Playgroups list are welcomed to advertise.
http://www.stagewhispers.net/theatre-companies.asp
If you are NOT on that page and would like to be, and if your group lies within 2 1/2 hours of Binghamton by car, write to me and send me your info!
Shows that share the same dates will be listed alphabetically by Theater Group, excepting the word “the”.
“The Brighton Players”, for example, would go before “Salisbury Community Theater”.
EXCEPTION
If shows share ‘split’ dates, the show that goes up first, will be listed ahead of the other.
