June 23, 2006 (ITHACA, NY)- There’s a stranger hopping onto the Hangar stage . . . and he has a bushy tail! The Hangar Theatre’s KIDDSTUFF season continues with Bunnicula, the contemporary classic children’s book by Deborah and James Howe, from June 29th to July 1st, with shows at 10 am and Noon each day. Who is this strange rabbit in the house? Why are all the vegetables in the house losing their juice? And are those fangs instead of teeth? Chester the Cat and Howard the Dog liked their family the way it was before the arrival of this funny bunny! After a spooky midnight investigation—and a lot of garlic—these furry friends learn that a new family member might actually be fun! Adapted for the stage by Jon Klein and featuring original music by Chris Jeffries, Bunnicula is made possible at the Hangar Theatre with the support of Alphabet Soup.
 The Monroe Family (including Chester the Cat and Howard the Dog) welcome a fuzzy stranger into the house in Bunnicula.

Bloodline Transports Hangar to the Dawn of Civilization June 29, 2006 (ITHACA, NY) - Following on its success with last summer’s production of As You Like It, the Hangar Theatre will once again breathe new life into a classic play this summer as its 2006 season continues with Bloodline: The Children of Argos. From July 5th through the 22nd, the Hangar presents a theatrical experience unlike any other in its 32 year history. “In telling an epic story so vast and expansive, this production will be spread out over two parts – like a television mini-series,” explains the Hangar’s artistic director Kevin Moriarty. “In fact, this play is actually comprised of five classic Greek plays by the three great fathers of modern drama: Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles.”

June 16, 2006 (ITHACA, NY)- Mysterious twists and turns, potential foul play, and dark British humor are all in the spotlight as the Hangar Theatre continues its 2006 season with Sleuth. From June 21st to July 1st, the Hangar presents Anthony Shaffer’s Tony-Award Winning thriller featuring mystery novelist and games-player Andrew Wyke, his wife’s lover, Milo Tindle, and the crew of investigators out to foil their intricate plans. The elaborate game of cat and mouse that ensues will leave the audience guessing, gasping, and—in the end—holding a secret they should keep even after they leave the theatre. Since its London debut in 1970 and through thousands of performances there and on Broadway, Sleuth has received dazzling reviews from the critics as the progenitor of the modern psychological thriller. Variety described it as “a smart, gripping and civilized murder yarn which also is a slick parody of the popular type of detective whodunit novel of the thirties.” Harold Hobson of the Sunday Times called Sleuth “a play to see, to be astonished by, and to brood over.” The script won Anthony Shaffer the 1971 Tony Award for Best Play. |

Rumor has it that the sun has been seen in the Lansing sky, and with summer comes concerts in Myers Park. This year the concerts are scheduled for Thursday nights beginning June 29 at 6:30pm when the Burns Sisters will perform. People are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, a picnic and blankets to the concerts. 'It's an intimate setting," says Park Superintendent Steve Colt. "The backdrop is one of the best in the area. The sunset, the lake. You can sit right up close to the band. The performers like it and the people like it because they're right there."

 SMART TALK
By Nurse Garrel S. Utter
POSSIBLE DANGER: Clayton Johnson looked grave. The town constable for Underbelly, Texas, cleared his throat, resisted spitting on camera, and looked nervously into “Scoop” Johnson’s lens. At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, we sat forward in our Fowler Lounge seats and watched the screen just as nervously. We knew we could count on Constable Johnson for a dizzying display of redundancies. He didn’t disappoint.
“The automobile was red in color. Witnesses who saw the incident indicated that said vehicle was proceeding ahead at a high rate of speed, willfully ignoring safety precautions and presenting a possible danger to the local residents.”
We sat back and applauded sarcastically, as if a server had dropped a tray of stemware. Constable Johnson won’t come to the Institute for treatment of his redundancy syndrome, even though we’ve offered it for no charge.
But over schooners of sarsaparilla, we decided that maybe he’s not so dumb. If he had spoken good English and said, “Witnesses reported a red car speeding and endangering residents,” he’d have used only one third as many words. That would have given him only one third as much air time.
Dumb like a fox, we agreed, reaching for something stronger.
