This performance includes live music, dance, flow arts, and ritual.

Join us on Gallery Night, opening Friday, June 2 from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
Alicia is a multimedia artist who will be showcasing a series of figurative paintings, drawings, and photographs. Her work delves into the female psyche with a sense of surreal imagery and social realism content. Using colorful interpretations in both traditional and digital techniques, she shows the emotional spectrum of her subjects and tells a story from a survivor perspective.
On view from June 2 to July 28, Veil of Daydreams is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Ithaca and will feature both past and current work.
Alicia is the owner of The Portrait Studio located in downtown Ithaca, offering custom portraits and headshots. Visit http://www.portraitstudioithaca.com or Instagram.com/ithacaphotographer. She is also a local muralist and does commissioned paintings.

The 2023 WEDGE: FutureNow Reading Series
Don’t miss this incredible collaboration between Ithaca-based creatives and the company of emerging artists in residence at the Hangar.
Friday, July 28, 2 p.m. at The Hangar Theatre
Saturday, July 29, 3 p.m. at CSMA (Community School of Music and Arts)
See your favorite local actors reading three exciting new scripts by central NY-based writers that tackle regionally-specific themes, such as how we utilize humanities, specifically the dramatic arts, to instigate thinking and dialogue about life’s big questions.
No tickets necessary. Free and open to the public.
The Hangar Theatre Wedge: FutureNow Festival evolved last summer from the Hangar’s Wedge Series, which was established in 1983 by former Hangar Artistic Director Robert Moss to showcase timely, inventive productions produced by members of the Hangar Theatre’s pre-professional fellowship programs. Projects are typically conceived and directed by Hangar Drama League Directing Fellows (now the FutureNow Fellows) and cast with Hangar Lab Performance Fellows.
The 2023 FutureNow Wedge Reading Series will be presented both downtown at Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) and at the Hangar and will highlight the local community of artists and writers living and working in Tompkins County. The series will provide an opportunity for Ithaca-based creatives to work in collaboration with the company of emerging artists in residence at the Hangar. This summer, the series features new play readings of scripts by central NY-based writers that tackle regionally-specific themes, such as how we utilize humanities, specifically the dramatic arts, to instigate thinking and dialogue about life’s big questions
The Wedge FutureNow Series is made possible in part through the Community Arts Partnership’s “Grants for Arts Program” with funds from Tompkins County.

Event Details
Eileen and Jane have been playing contra dances together for over 15 years. They’ve toured nationally, playing dance camps and festival weekends as Sister Haggis and with other ensembles including Seaglass, Continental Drift, and the Groovemongers. Their recordings, both together and with other ensembles include “Crossing Bridges,” “Fresh Wares” and “Smooth Sailing”. Their sound features Eileen’s rich fiddle tone and lilting melodies and Jane’s driving piano rhythms in a lively mix of modern and traditional contra tunes.
Ithaca-based caller Katy Heine has been leading contras and community dances in the Finger Lakes region and beyond for more than 30 years. She’s known for her clear teaching style and for her large repertoire of fun and flowing dances. Whether the hall’s full of experienced dancers or first-timers, they’re sure to have a great time at one of Katy’s dances!
