Harlequin Productions of Cayuga Community College is pleased to announce that their production of "The Body Washer" by Rosemary Frisino Toohey has been invited to perform at the annual Theatre Association of NY State Festival. This prestigious state-wide competition will be held Nov. 19-21 in Batavia, NY. "The Body Washer" is part of Harlequin's We Got Your One-Acts, Right Here evening of theatre which continues performances on Nov 4-6 at 8PM at the College's Black Box Theatre.
"The Body Washer" features the talents of CCC students Lauren Maltese, Rachel Bodner and Lizzie Fennessy and tells of how an incident in the Afghanistan war affects the lives of an Islamic Body Washer and two Americans: a National Guard soldier and a journalist.
Also Invited to perform at the TANYS Festival is the Auburn Player's Production of "Two Women and a Chair" by Michael Olsen. CCC freshman Alicia Frame and Alumna Carole Estabrook enact the two roles of actresses showing up for an audition in a room dominated by a strange chair but no director.
Both of these productions are directed by Bob Frame, Director of Theatre Operation at CCC. His work has been featured at the festival many times over his career; in fact he was awarded the J. Richard Mahlstedt Directing Award in 2006. Frame is honored to have one play invited to perform, but it is practically unheard of to have two plays in this competition! These plays were chosen from a field of over 60 production mounted by Community, College and High School Theatre Groups from throughout the State. The TANYS Festival showcases some of the best work found in NY community theatre and is the first step in a theatrical completion that can lead to a national contest and ultimately to an international Festival held in Monaco.
