The Burns Sisters Band takes the Hangar Stage for a Holiday Concert and 

CD Pre-Release December 12 & 13

Ithaca favorites The Burns Sisters return to the Hangar Theatre on December 12 and 13 at 8pm for a Holiday Concert and a special pre-release of their new CD Looking Back…Our American Irish Souls. They will be performing original songs and holiday classics from around the world. The Hangar has partnered with the Food Bank of the Southern Tier and will collect donations for that organization on both evenings.

The Burns Sisters take pride in their Irish heritage and celebrate it in their music, bringing a Celtic slant to their songs and arrangements. They describe their new CD as “an inspirational look at our American Irish heritage.” The album was recorded with musicians including Seamus Egan, Joanie Madden, Blackie O’Connell, Jim Kimball, and three-time Grammy winner Stuart Duncan. CDs will be available for purchase at the Hangar concerts before being released to the general public.

Concert attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items or to make an onsite donation to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. There is a great need for food items that support their BackPack Program, which gives children who are at risk of hunger a bag of nutritious food each Friday throughout the school year. Kid-friendly items ideal for this program include boxed macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, crackers and cheese, canned tuna/chicken, and small cans of fruit. Over 2,500 students receive packages from the BackPack program every week. While a donation to the BackPack Program is highly encouraged, any and all donations will be accepted. Patrons who make a donation will be entered into a raffle to win fabulous Hangar prizes.

Fund Raising Success at The Hangar Theatre

Hangar Theatre’s 3rd Annual Charades Fundraiser a Sweet Success! The Hangar’s Acting Out on the Hangar Stage, Community Charades Challenge took place on Saturday, October 18. With the support of the community – through donations to four teams of participants, the purchase of auction items, and ticket sales – the Hangar was able to reach its fundraising goal for the event, which supports the theatre’s educational programming, raising a total of $26,000. The evening started with a pre-show reception where guests enjoyed delicious treats from event sponsor Serendipity Catering and refreshments provided by Sheldrake Point Winery and Ithaca Beer Company. Mark Shanahan took the stage as Master of Ceremonies, leading the four teams through five rounds of charades. More than 200 audience members watched as team members jumped, gestured, and wiggled their way through clues to earn points for their teams and to earn fundraising dollars for the Hangar. Each team featured a Hangar trustee, a local notable, a sponsor representative, and a Hangar star returning to the stage after performing in a Mainstage show this summer. The Hangar stars performed a show-stopping halftime act directed by the Hangar’s Artistic Director Jen Waldman. The winning team in the charades battle was the Remarkable Reds led by Hangar Trustee Jamie Wells and including Rik Daniels of Tompkins Trust Company, Kelly Jackson of Tompkins Trust Company, and Bruce Warren, who played the Dentist in the Hangar’s Little Shop of Horrors this summer. In close second in the charades battle, and taking first place for the most dollars fundraised, was the Hellacious Horrors led by Hangar Trustee Arno Selco and including Susan Currie of Tompkins County Public Library, Frost Travis of Travis Hyde Properties, and Erin Maya, who was the voice of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors. To see a full list of participants and photos from the event, visit HangarTheatre.org. The real winners of the night, however, are the children, young adults, and early career professionals who benefit from the Hangar’s commitment to education and training programming. All of the money raised from this event will support the Hangar’s Project 4: Artists in the Classroom program, its professional training program called the Hangar Lab Company, its Next Generation School of Theatre summer classes, and its Spring Break-a-Leg camp. To learn more about these programs and other Hangar events, visit HangarTheatre.org or call 607.273.8588.

Critics Just Can Not Enough of Kitchen Theatre’s Cooking [ Productions that is. ]

OUR 24th SEASON Here’s what the critics are saying about Lonely Planet: “Director Rachel Lampert deeply trusts the poetry, letting the play breathe in a lustrous production that makes virtues of the tiny space. …The acting is exquisite, DeWolf and Gregory proving graceful and tight stage partners. …They make of the evening both a delirious romp and a whispered prayer.” – Ross Haarstad, Ithaca Times “This journey proves as touching as it is harrowing, thanks to riveting performances from both Gregory and DeWolf, and the Kitchen Theatre’s cozy theater space.” – Steven Pirani, The Ithacan “Though it’s a heart-wrenching topic, both DeWolf and Gregory manage to temper the sense of loss and sadness with just the right amount of their own brands of humor.” – Sue Henninger, Tompkins Weekly “Under Lampert’s sharp direction, Lonely Planet is the least political of AIDS plays, the polar opposite of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart, with no anger or finger-pointing. Instead it is a timeless rather than timely look at how difficult it is to tell the truth.” – Jim MacKillop, Syracuse New Times “Whether ignoring the epidemic or facing it, or merely seeking a brief respite, these two friends struggle to make sense of the senseless. … And, in the wake of news of the latest Ebola outbreaks, we seek some fleeting solace in this “Lonely Planet.” – Barbara Adams, Ithaca Journal  BUY TICKETS NOW Don’t miss Lonely Planet! Buy tickets online by clicking here, or call (607) 272-0570, Mon-Fri 11AM – 6PM, Sat & Sun 12-4PM Only nine more performances!
