Red Light Winter
February 22 - March 11, 2012
Sex. Power. Obsession.
Adam Rapp's Pulitzer Prize nominated Red Light Winter lays bare the passions of three young people caught in a love triangle so dangerous and obsessive that it pushes them to the brink. The story begins in the seductive city of Amsterdam. It is winter. Davis, an up-and-coming young editor, riding high after a recent editorial success, and his college-buddy Matt, a struggling playwright, have come to partake in all the tantalizing freedoms the city allows. Both 30, both on the cusp of all that is possible in their lives, theirdream-like experience peaks when Davis purchases the services of Christina, a mysterious prostitute from the Red Light District, as a gift to Matt. Their Red Light Winter changes all three lives forever. Playwright Adam Rapp is known for his bold, authentic depictions of his generation. Swaggering, posturing for power, and uncensored in their language, Rapp's characters are shocking and alluring at the same time. Matt andDavis' post-college lives have taken different directions, but their friendship has endured with shifting power plays, goading and button pushing. Their conversation is filled with jabs and outrageous fun at the other's expense. Rapp makes sure we see the brilliance of their minds and the depth of their intelligence through hilarious and abrasive dialogue that captures the raw truth of their desperation to bring meaning to their lives.
"In two beautifully structured acts, Rapp provides a portrait of young intellectual America in a moment of crisis - and the Kitchen's production absolutely lives up to the writing. From the very start, Red Light Winter captures the audience, and doesn't let us go until its final dramatic conclusion. ญญ" --Cornell Daily Sun
Due to language, nudity and sexual situations, Red Light Winter is suggested for audiences 18+.
Ellen Adair, Jesse Bush, Eric Gilde

On Sacred Ground -
Stravinsky's Rite of Spring as imagined by The Bad Plus
Reid Anderson, bass
Ethan Iverson, piano
David King, drums
Few jazz groups in recent memory have amassed such acclaim, and as much controversy, with their audacious band ethos and avant-garde populism. In their own words about Sacred Ground: "the melding of modernist classical music with jazz has been attempted before, but typically in such experiments the drums are left behind. Of course TBP could never leave the drums behind... We hope [you] will find our discoveries and journey through The Rite of Spring a source of pleasure and inspiration.""
"By any standard, jazz or otherwise, it is moving, mighty music...bad to the bone, hot players with hard-rock hearts." - Rolling Stone

Borealis Wind Quintet with Pianist Leon Bates
Katherine Fink, flute Tamar Beach Wells, oboe
Kathryn Taylor, clarinet
Dan Culpepper, horn
Wayne Hileman, bassoon The Borealis Wind Quintet, nominated for a 2006 Grammy Award in the Chamber Music Category, is acclaimed as one of America's preeminent chamber ensembles. The highest musical integrity, irresistible energy and five-fold charisma distinguish Borealis in the chamber music field. Audiences love their exquisite programming that includes the finest of the classics, engaging commissioned works, opera arias and works for piano and winds. The Washington Post praised their "sensitive collaborations that have a sophisticated and cosmopolitan air." Peter G. Davies of the New York Times described one concert as "a polished, elegantly turned performance...each work received lively, expert and musicianly treatment by this skilled and exceptionally talented chamber group." Joseph Horowitz, also of the New York Times describes "lively communicative readings...the performance was a scintillating one." The Philadelphia Inquirer writes that "they demonstrated the sort of rapport that characterizes the very best chamber playing." As one of America's leading pianists, Leon Bates has earned for himself a place on the international concert circuit. His performance schedule has included dates across the United States, in Canada, Italy, France, Austria, Ireland, England as well as Africa. He is invited to perform on the major concert stages around the world and audiences and critics find his musical spirit to possess all the elements of greatness. Mr. Bates has performed with many of the major U.S. symphonies such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Detroit Symphony and the Boston Symphony. In Europe, he has performed with the Vienna Symphony, the Basel Symphony, the Radio-Orchestra of Dublin, the Strasbourg Symphony, Orchestra Sinfonica dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Malmo Symphony of Sweden and more. Whether in recital or as a soloist with orchestra, his praises are enumerated in many different languages - but they all agree that Leon Bates is a major artist and one of America's best.

Theatre Incognita
Iphigenia...(a rave fable)
March 17 - March 25, 2012
Iphigenia...(a rave fable) "...is a throbbing, daring multimedia freakout." (Denver Post) Theatre Incognita proudly collaborates with Cornell's Teatrotaller and the Latino Civic Association to present the regional premiere of a modern tragedy by one of our leading Latina playwrights. The full title of this astonishing play by award-winning playwright Caridad Svich is Iphigenia Crash Land Falls on the Neon Shell That Was Once Her Heart (a rave fable). As Svich describes her work, "This play hurls one of Greek tragedy's most compelling sagas into a sleek netherworld of sex, drugs and trance music. Iphigenia is the daughter of a political celebrity who embraces sensuous excess with a transgendered glam rock star named Achilles in a desperate attempt to flee her inevitable fate." The play stars Carolina Osorio Gil as Iphigenia (previously seen in Incognita's queermonsterfreaks, The Laramie Project, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.) Incognita veteran Asia Dillon (Dream) plays rock star Achilles, while Alyssa Duerkson (The Elephant Calf) returns to play Camila and Violetta Imperial. Three area teens will play the fresa girls, who represent the ghosts of the murdered girls of Juarez: Adrian Bauchner from LACS (Incognita's Dream), Felix Fernandez-Perry from IHS (Edna in Hairspray for Running To Places), and Kai Haskins from New Roots (another R2P regular). Also making his debut with Incognita is Steven Barry (ComedyFlops). Keir Neuringer composes original music for this production (lyrics by Svich), while video artist Nils Hoover will be responsible for the media spectacle. Costuming is by Cornell student Caterina Gutierrez of Teatrotaller. Direction is by Ross Haarstad, Artistic Director of Theatre Incognita. "We're proud to be offered the opportunity to produce the works of this cutting-edge playwright," states Haarstad. "We're thrilled that Caridad's work also marks Incognita's first collaboration with Cornell's Teatrotaller." For the past 18 years Teatrotaller ("theater workshop") has promoted Spanish, Latin American and Latino cultures through theater both on campus and internationally. Svich describes herself as a US Latina "playwright, songwriter, editor and translator living between many cultures, including inherited ones." She was awarded the 2011 American Theatre Critics Association Primus Prize for her play The House of the Spirits, based on the novel; has also been short-listed for the PEN Award in Drama three times (including for Iphigenia). Among her many other honors are the National Latino Playwriting Award and Whitfield Cook Award for New Writing.

Hangar Theatre
The 38th season of the Hangar Theatre has been revamped to include a thrilling line-up of plays and musicals. With two Tony winning musicals, a favorite farce, an American classic and a one-woman magnum opus, the season is set to thrill, challenge and exhilarate.
The season takes off with Ken Ludwig's knock-down, drag it out farce, Lend Me A Tenor (June 21-July 7) followed by the premiere of a strikingly innovative concept of the Tony winning best musical Titanic (July 12-July 28). The sophisticated comedy Full Gallop (August 2-August 11) is next, followed by the area premiere of the Pulitzer Prize winning musical Next to Normal (August 16-September 1). The final offering is a true American classic, Horton Foote's The Trip to Bountiful (September 13-September 22).
Peter Flynn, Artistic Director of the Hangar, states "The 2012 season is an exploration of our American life onstage: how we have come together and evolved our way of living and thinking because of national events and trends explored in these significant plays and musicals. It is also a reinvigoration of the American story, whether a musical chronicle of one of the most noteworthy events of the twentieth century, the advent of the screwball comedy, or how we relate to our friends and family in the twenty-first century - the 2012 season takes a cohesive look at how we live as Americans." Details of the season are as follows:
