 From Thursday July 17th through Saturday, July 19th and again from Thursday, July 24th through Saturday July 26th, families will travel back in time to the silent film era complete with slapstick comedy, daredevil stunts, and live music on Hangar Theatre stage.
The Hangar’s KIDDSTUFF season continues with Barry Kornhauser’s hilarious production of Reeling, showing all six days at 10 am and Noon. Families will laugh along as the Keystone cop-type hero faces a lion’s share of predicaments. Reeling is made possible at the Hangar Theatre with the support of Warren Real Estate and Purity Ice Cream. The KIDDSTUFF season is made possible by season sponsors Wegmans, Ithacamoms.com, and Ithaca Child Newspapers.
Reeling will run for two consecutive weekends, giving parents and children more opportunities to enjoy the magic of live theatre together. Larger groups like camps, day-care classes, and family reunions can take advantage of group discounts for KIDDSTUFF performances and received discounted tickets.
Additionally, the whole family can see live, professional theatre for less than the price of a movie ticket, thanks to the Hangar Theatre’s PAY WHAT YOU CAN (PWYC) program. On Saturday, July 19 at noon, a set of seats have been reserved for “Pay What You Can” patrons to see Reeling. ANY AMOUNT will be accepted as payment for these tickets. The Hangar offers PWYC performances, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience live theatre regardless of financial resources. The KIDDSTUFF Pay What You Can program is made possible by Cayuga Family Medicine, True Insurance, West Wind Consulting with support from Autodesk and Chemung Canal Trust Company.
