SOUVENIR opens on the Main Stage
 
Directed by Sara Lampert Hoover

Souvenir Image
If "music is the food of love," then Florence Foster Jenkins is the surprise dessert. SOUVENIR, a Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins by Stephen Temperley, is an enormously funny and moving tribute to a woman who followed her dreams - no matter how misguided.

Stephen Temperley's delightful memoir of another time is told through the biting wit of Ms. Jenkins' talented accompanist Cosme McMoon. Sitting at the piano late one night, he remembers how his life was changed by an amazing friendship with an unlikely partner. From Gershwin to Mozart, it was the love of music that carried the two of them on a crazy, not-so-melodic ride.

Rachel Lampert's THE SOUP COMES LAST
 
Directed by Margarett Perry

Rachel Lampert in SOUP
THE SOUP COMES LAST is writer/performer Rachel Lampert's hilarious and heart warming memoir of her 1997 trip to China to stage a production of WEST SIDE STORY with an all Chinese speaking cast. Her one-woman play is filled with tales of cross-cultural missteps, lost translations, and life changing events all driven by the dictum "the show must go on!" Love, humor, backstage dramas and the universal desire to reach one's dream are the ingredients of Lampert's Soup.

scoot performance
Rachel Lampert has gone back to her choreographer roots and teamed up with composer Sally Lamb to create an enchanting new dance play.  Twelve  dancers and four musicians take you on a journey through strange lands in this magical story without words. 

This is a beautifully realized, highly entertaining show for children and adults, for those who love dance and those who think they don't understand it. Once again, as we've seen in previous kids' shows at The Kitchen, here's theater at its most magical.
Barbara Adams, Ithaca Journal

A great way to spend Mother's Day!

Kate (Camilla Schade) and her husband, Deeley (Greg Bostwick), live in an isolated farmhouse by the sea. The mundane harmony of their lives is disturbed when Kate's old friend Anna (Leigh Keeley) comes to stay. A night of reminiscing between the married couple and the old friend becomes a struggle to discover the truth in memory, desire in love, and to whom the past belongs. A battle for possession begins in which past and present merge with shattering consequences. March 20 through April 13.

A collaboration of movement and music
saly lamb photo

Rachel Lampert has gone back to her choreographer roots and teamed up with composer Sally Lamb to produce this wonderful piece. What do you get when you bring together a swingin' composer, a jumpin' choreographer, and a whirl of dancers? Something that's hard to put into words, but that certainly sizzles. This new movement piece will make you want to scoot, sizzle & slide along.




Composer Sally Lamb
