Auditions for Dance Bands and Dsic
Jockeys
Belief in yourself is the key requirement in producing your own sound and then taking the next step in forming your own
band.
What this audition process allows you to try out both your new sound, or traditional dance music and have your band have
a place in which it can likewise reherse - but with a very active groups of dancers interacting with you at the sametime.
Here on on the Ithaca Commons is the focus in which you can explore, while giving your fellow bands members the additional
public opennings to get known necessary for their musical development. It all goes on every Tuesdays - when the weather permits
- from 7:00 to 10:00 PM and the time in which it starts May 14th, 2008 and goes on till the end of October, 2008.
You do not have to be from around the Ithaca area. All you need is willingness.
or call 607 - 279 - 9945 / 607 - 451 - 8663 [ If you have a caller id block then please leave a voice mail
message.]

SOUVENIR opens on the Main Stage | |
|
|
Directed
by Sara Lampert Hoover
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
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.

Our 6-Play Main Stage Season will run from mid-August 2008 to mid-July
2009. We are thrilled to note that four of the plays will be receiving their first full stagings. There are two additional
productions happening during the 2008-09 season. First is a limited two-week run of THE SOUP COMES LAST in July 2008
before our official season starts. The second is an encore performance of the popular musical TONY & THE SOPRANO,
just in time for the Thanksgiving and December holiday season. Don't forget we are year-round with 170 performances on the
Main Stage!

Ithaca Date Book:
An online helper. |
|
|
First get your cell phone and a date book. There is one to your left. Then you
get this site on the date book, and then click on Ithaca Concerts, Concerts and Entertainment, Theatre, or Entertainment websites for the evenings entertainment. Then if you want something very good to go actually dinning out
too, and not a rush job, you go to the Ithaca Recommended Restaurants
for one hell of a great evening. In the end it will become more easy to plan, and you really do not even
have to sit at home to do it. |
