The Uptown Theatre inside the First Street Community Center will be hosting a Cornell College student theatre group performing a long form of improv comedy on Tuesday, October 20th from 7pm to 9pm.

This show is for Adult Audiences Only, it contains strong language and adult content.

Matt Hamma, Nick Barnes, and Jane Mulkerin will be performing a Harold (long form improv) and doing an homage to The Neo-Futurist show “Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind”. Neo-Futurist is a theater company based in Chicago where the cast writes and performs skits that are pertinent in their current lives. The skits are based in truth by the performers and must be completed in a certain amount of time.

All who wish to attend are not required to attend the entire two hour show and may enter and leave as is needed. Please email Nick at [email protected] with any questions you may have.

Beehive is a musical of 60’s girl groups for the young of heart of any age.

Shows will be performed live in the First Street Community Center’s Uptown Theatre.  Performance dates are October 15 – 18. Shows on the 15th – 17th are at 7:30pm, with one show on the 18th at 2pm. Tickets are only $12.

David Hutchings wrote this for People Magazine about the original New York Village Gate theater production:

…Beehive, a rafter-raising musical revue of the female sound of the ’60s…  Moving musically from the innocence of 1960, when Sandra Dee was engaged to Bobby Darin, to the troubles of 1969, with bitter anti-Vietnam War protest and flower-power children, Beehive is a nostalgic look backward at the wigged-out ’60s.
