Four teams will compete by acting out entertainment clues for their teammates and also by fundraising for the event, which will take place at the Hangar Theatre on Sunday, December 2 at 6:30pm.

Acting Out team members include: Karl Gregory (Hangar's Ever So Humble and The 39 Steps), Wally Dunn (Hangar's November and Spelling Bee), Sidney Williams (Hangar's Rounding Third), Christianne Tisdale (Hangar's Titanic), Svante Myrick (City of Ithaca Mayor), Jen Mattison (WYXL97.3 Lite Rock Radio Host), Jean McPheeters (Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce President), and Mack Travis  (Real Estate Developer).

In addition, Hangar board members Laurel Southard (Director of Undergraduate Research at Cornell University), Ann Costello (Physician), Margaret Shackell  (Lecturer at Cornell University), Jamie Wells  (Director of Marketing & Engineering at Jamex and Next Gen alum) and Hangar staff members Madeline Spencer  (House Manager), Jaime Wolffe  (Audience Services Manager), Jesse Bush  (Associate Artistic Director & Head of Education), and Cody Smith (Casting Assistant & Lab Company Recruiter) will also compete in the charades challenge.

Hosting the event will be Hangar/Ithaca College alum and Broadway star Eric Jordan Young (Hangar: Sammy and Me, Rent! Broadway: Ragtime, Chicago). This exhilarating evening will also feature a special tribute to Lisa Bushlow honoring her many contributions to the Hangar over the past 25 years and highlighted by the dedication of the Lisa Bushlow Education Fund. Local favorite Serendipity Catering will provide scrumptious hors d'oeuvres and desserts.
