June
June 6 - 16, The Ladies Man (CRT)
A new farce written by Charles Morey, who “freely translated and adapted” it from the French play Tailleur Pour Dames by Georges Feydeau. This infectiously charming and zany farce takes place in Paris, where middle aged and recently married Dr. Hercule Molineaux tells “one tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie” to his beautiful young wife in order to hide an embarrassing male “incompetence”. The craziness begins when his ogre of a mother-in-law gets involved, not to mention an outrageously aggressive female patient, her overly jealous Prussian husband, a confused patient with an unfortunate speech impediment and two overly nosey servants, all running in and out of more slamming doors than realistic architecture should ever accommodate.

June 20 - July 7, Grease! (CRT)
The classic 1950s rock ‘n roll musical with book, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. In this high energy show, we meet Rydell High School's Class of 1959: the hot-rodding Burger Palace Boys and their gum-snapping Pink Ladies in bobby sox and pedal pushers. Head greaser Danny Zuko and new good girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their Summer Nights as the rest of the gang sing and dance their way through the hit songs Greased Lightnin', You’re the One That I Want, It’s Raining on Prom Night, The Hand Jive, and many more! For more information visit www.cortlandrep.org or call 1-800-427-6160.

July 11 - 28, Broadway Musical (CRT)
Due to royalty restrictions, CRT can’t announce what this show will be until early in 2012, but we can hint that it was a Broadway record-breaker and an international sensation. It’s the perfect family musical and the winner of numerous Tony Awards, including Best Musical. For more information visit www.cortlandrep.org or call 1-800-427-6160.
July 12, 14, 20 and 21, Aladdin (CRT Kids)
A participation play, created by Moses Goldberg. A traveling group of actors (in reality, CRT’s Performing Intern Company) stumble upon the stage at the Little York Pavilion and decide to perform the magical Arabian Nights story of Aladdin the peasant boy. With the help of children and adults alike, the story of the kind-hearted little thief comes to life before your very eyes! Children help Aladdin discover the Genie of the Lamp and Ring, win the heart of the Princess, and defeat the evil Sultan. The play promises lots of laughs, stage participation and a valuable lesson about friendship. For more information visit www.cortlandrep.org or call 1-800-427-6160.
July 25, Planning Board Meeting
7 pm, Town Hall. For more information see Preble Planning Board.
August
August 1 - 11, Agatha Christie’s The Hollow (CRT)
A romantic game of “Follow-The-Leader” explodes into murder during a party weekend at The Hollow, a quiet English mansion. A philandering doctor gets himself in hot water when his wife, mistress and former mistress all visit at the same time. Tempers flare until one hapless soul is used for target practice. Motives abound and it’s up to the local police sergeant – and the audience - to figure out “Who-Dun-It”. For more information visit www.cortlandrep.org or call 1-800-427-6160.

August 15 - 25, The Drawer Boy (CRT)
Set in 1972, this surprisingly funny, tender but tough play tells the story of two aging Canadian dairy farmers, both WWII veterans, who have their quiet lives disturbed when a young actor appears on their farm, asking to study the rituals and chores of the world of farming. Unwittingly, the young man reveals the truth behind one of the farmer’s memory loss and learns how storytelling can interpret reality and transform lives. Since its premiere, this play has won countless awards, including Canada's Governor General's Literary Award and The Helen Hayes Award. It also made Time Magazine's top ten list as "a new classic" and in 2004 became the most produced play in American regional theatres. For more information visit www.cortlandrep.org or call 1-800-427-6160.
August 22, Planning Board Meeting
7 pm, Town Hall. For more information see Preble Planning Board.
August 29 - September 8, The Mystery of Irma Vep (CRT)
A comedy, farce, thriller and mystery all rolled into one, written by Charles Ludlam. Called “a wild funhouse adventure”, the play features comic performances by two actors playing multiple characters, lightning-fast quick changes and hair-raising suspense. Seductive vampires, mysterious ghosts, a sympathetic werewolf and somebody’s mummy all wreck havoc in this raucous parody of Victorian morals and Hollywood horror. From England’s mysterious moors to the depths of an Egyptian tomb, this two-man “tour de farce” takes on everyone from Emily Brontë to Mel Brooks! For more information visit www.cortlandrep.org or call 1-800-427-6160.
