'Rebecca Returns' Premieres at Kitchen Print Recommend This Article to a Friend
by Kitchen Theatre   
Friday, 01 December 2006
ITHACA, NY: The Kitchen Theatre Company’s FAMILY FARE series continues on December 9 with the premiere of Rebecca Returns. The new musical’s book and lyrics are by Rachel Lampert with music by Lesley Greene. Rebecca Returns opens on December 9 and closes on December 23 with performances on Saturdays at 1:00 and 3:00pm and Sundays at 1:00 pm. This is the second of three world premiere musicals in this season’s Family Fare series.

Rebecca Returns begins three weeks after Rebecca, who is “nine, almost ten – almost double digits,” and usually responsible, spent the day at home alone for the first time in last year’s Family Fare musical Winter Tales. And what a day it was! Much more adventurous than Rebecca expected. Now Rebecca (Chunmei McKernan) and her rather large cat Muriel (Sarah Foster) are on their own again and, as in all cautionary tales, there’s a lesson that going to be learned before the day is done. Joining the cast is Kitchen Theatre favorite Karl Gregory, playing the mischievous son of the Ice Man who complicates Rebecca and Muriel’s lives quite a bit. Winter Tales was described by one reviewer as “perfect entertainment for children and a chance for adults to re-experience innocence and delight. One cold winter tale you won't want to miss." Rebecca Returns is the next installment in this inquisitive nine year-old’s way to learning life’s lessons.

Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow at Kitchen Print Recommend This Article to a Friend
by Kitchen Theatre   
Friday, 24 November 2006
ITHACA, NY: Techno-savvy Generation Y has its say as the Kitchen Theatre Company presents the regional premiere of Rolin Jones’s madcap comedy The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow, November 30 through December 23.

22-year old whiz kid Jennifer Marcus has just been fired from her job at the mall. But her genius level computer skills and brain power have landed her a position as a satellite navigation systems specialist for a major defense contractor. There is one catch. Saddled with both Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and agoraphobia (a fear of open places), she is the ultimate telecommuter; she has set up camp in her bedroom. Not only is she isolated from the world outside, but she also feels disconnected from her adoptive family - her Type A mother who jets to trade shows around the country and her laid-back father retired from firefighting. Jennifer’s computer is her window on the world. Her on-line contacts include a Mormon missionary living in China; her employer, a military contractor from Georgia; and a wacky robotics genius, Dr. Yakunin, who recognizes Jennifer’s enormous talents. Off-line she depends on the comforts of her slacker pizza-delivery friend Todd.

November 13, 2007 – (ITHACA) The Hangar Theatre is welcoming a new full-time staff member to its Artistic Department. On November 20th, Jesse Bush will join the Hangar staff as the Associate Artist/Education and Outreach Coordinator. A former actor in Hangar Mainstage productions, Bush graduated with a BFA in acting from Ithaca College, has worked as an actor and director nationally, and was most recently the Assistant Artistic Director at the Kitchen Theatre Company.

Kevin Moriarty, the Hangar’s Artistic Director, is thrilled to add Bush’s talents to the Hangar staff. “Jesse is one of the most exciting, talented and dynamic theatre artists in our community,” he explains. “His work as a director at actor at the Kitchen has been thrilling to watch. In the following years Jesse will contribute to the ongoing artistic life of the Hangar by directing and acting in the Hangar’s Mainstage, KIDDSTUFF, and School Tour productions.” Moriarty is equally excited for Bush to engage with the many students and teachers who participate in the theatre’s nationally recognized year-round education programs. “In the classroom and on the stage, Jesse will make a vital contribution to the artistic and educational life of the Hangar,” Moriarty says.

SMART TALK: Toxic Pollution Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

TOXIC POLLUTION: We’re finally becoming aware of the environmental crisis, even here in Texas. Let’s hope it’s not too late to turn the situation around, or too late to clean up the way we talk about it.

All pollution is toxic, including noise, so just saying pollution is enough, thank you.

There’s no need to say environmental pollution, either. It’s obviously redundant, and saying it makes one sound fatuous.

Toxic poisons seems just as obvious, but some say it, and I’m trying to get them into the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired for treatment.
