The story has been around for over 50 years and kids still love it… just like you did! \nTwo bored kids (This was way before iPads). One rainy day (We’ve all had a few of those) And one crazy cat wearing a red-striped hat (Where was the background check for that babysitter?!) \nIn 1957\, Dr Seuss used only 200 words to write his classic tale. More than 50 years later\, The Cat in the Hat is a much-loved children’s phenomenon. The play was adapted for the stage in 2009 by the National Theatre of Britain. The Cat in The Hat interrupts this rainy afternoon with his unexpected visit to Sally and her brother’s cozy home. Their outspoken and outraged pet Fish is astounded and concerned\, but this cat will not be deterred. He will teach us all to make our own fun with nothing but a little imagination. “It’s fun to have fun\, but you have to know how” Along with Thing One and Thing Two\, the cat will fill the theatre with mischievous humour and madcap style. \nA timeless tale with a twist—this energetic adaptation bursts onto the stage (and maybe into the aisles). Expect laughs\, surprises\, and just a bit of delightful disorder!

Tickets are $25 General Admission with additional ticket specials available online by visiting ww.artofwny.org. \nAmateur actors in Cork City\, Ireland\, convene at their local pub-theater for the first read-through of a new Irish play. What no one knows yet is that the play has been written by an American. Over the course of the evening the newly assembled cast debates (in typically Irish fashion) the play’s deficiencies and merits\, who will play which part\, and whether or not to do the play at all. Irish and American cultures come into conflict\, old rivalries reignite\, and secrets are revealed as the group struggles toward an understanding of this enigmatic Irish play. What begins as a comedic examination of Irish theatre and identity becomes by evening’s end a character drama of strong emotional force. \nO’Brien keenly captures the dysfunctional relationships found in our theater world. From the insecurities\, imposter syndrome to showmances and needing a dram or two after a rehearsal or show\, “An Irish Play” has it all. If you are or have been involved in a theater as a producer\, director\, stage manager or actor\, this is a must see piece. \nFeaturing a wicked pissah ensemble of Artie nominated actors Trevor Dugan\, Brooke Goergen\, Rick Lattimer\, Michael Starzynski\, alongside theater veteran Catherine Burkhart\, up-and-coming actors John DellaContrada and Robert Humphrey\, this dark-comedy will take out the green in your beer then replace it with cream & whiskey. Boom! Carbomb\, lads & lasses.
