THE KITCHEN THEATRE


The 2009-10 main stage season kicks off this week
with SECRET ORDER by Bob Clyman

Directed by Rachel Lampert

Our 19th Season will open at the historic Clinton House with Bob Clyman's fast-paced medical research drama, SECRET ORDER.

In the high-stakes world of cancer research, Dr. William Shumway has just made a stunning breakthrough. But will it lead to a cure? Part medical drama, part suspense-filled thriller, SECRET ORDER turns its microscope on bioethics, money and power. For ages 16 & up.

JOIN US! There will be a pre-show reception before each performance of SECRET ORDER one half hour before show time. Please come early to share a glass of wine and toast the new season with us!Directed by Rachel Lampert With: Greg Bostwick, Roy Clary*, Kelly Galvin, Tony Roach*

The Ithaca SufferJets are sponsoring a juried art show to benefit roller derby in Ithaca and Ithaca Foodnet Meals on Wheels. The show, titled MOVEMENT, will open on September 4th 2009 from 5-8 pm, in conjunction with First Friday Gallery night.

The works in the show all embody the theme of movement and are of various media including digital video, photography, sculpture, and mixed.

Guests at the opening will enjoy libations generously donated by Damiani Winery and tasty nibbles provided by Simply Red Bistro. The evening will feature a reading by Ithaca poet Lyrae van Clief-Stefanon. In addition Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner will present "The Movement of Ideas: How Matilda Jocelyn Gage learned from the Haudenosaunee," followed by a book signing.

The show is located at Petrune Gallery, upstairs from Petrune at 126 East State Street. The show will run from September 4th until October 10th. Sales of the art will benefit the Ithaca SufferJets and Ithaca Foodnet Meals on Wheels.

MERCHANT OFFERS:

COMICS FOR COLLECTORS has ARCHIE 600
207 North Aurora St

Archie #600 features Archie marrying Veronica in a storyline that looks at the gang after they graduate college. It's written by Michael Uslan (producer of many superhero movies) and drawn by Stan Goldberg, who's been drawing Archie for almost 40 years.

Reportedly, this is only part 1 of a six-part storyline that will also show, in future issues, what would happen if Archie married Betty. Archie #600 is due out now.

This sounds like an imaginary, "what if", possible future story, not any kind of new direction, although I'm not sure that's been clear in the promotion. It may be to the publisher's advantage that it isn't, since the idea of Archie finally making a choice is getting the comic plenty of media attention. Plus, there's good room for argument among those who disagree with his choice of Veronica and would prefer Betty.

Only $2.50 an issue, the series will span six parts up to #606.



Come to CTB Downtown every Wednesday for live music by the Weeping Willards from 6-8 pm! http://www.weepingwillards.com/
