Cortland Repertory Theatre

One of the finer regional theaters I have seen shows.
I saw the production last year of «I’ll Be Back Before Midnight» and was very impressed. The level of talent was very strong and across the board. I hesitated to write a review of the theater until I had seen at least 2 shows. When looking at theater companies the more shows you see the better you can gage the consistency of shows.
This time I saw «Making God Laugh» and had the same experience that I had a year ago. (I will not review the play but the theater itself)
The staff are open, friendly and truly have a love of their theater. A quaint 2 story building that from the outside gives the feel that your coming over to grandmas house to meet family. The area around is a nice park with a lake. Perfect for a family picnic before the show.
Inside the theater is not a small black box. This is a fully functioning professional theater. An excellent lighting grid, the sets are fully realized as well as the talent. Price per show is well worth it. Air conditioned, comfortable seats and good acoustics make
the experience enjoyable.
The best part (as in all theater) is the quality of the shows. The technical meets the performances. I truly enjoyed both nights of theater.
Professional quality shows with a home town local vibe… A gem in the crown of regional theater.
