SUMMARY:The Kaplan Cousins Improvise Again
DESCRIPTION:Hangar Theatre’s In Flight Entertainment Series Presents \nThe Kaplan Cousins Improvise Again\nSaturday\, March 28 @ 7:30 pm\nTickets: $25 Adults / $15 Students \nThe Kaplan Cousins return! Ilan and Gavin Kaplan have been improvising together for 8 years\, and have known each other for 31. Together\, they have taught workshops and performed all around NYC and beyond\, including their undefeated run on Improv Cagematch New York\, where they won 14x in a row with their team\, “The Kaplan Brothers”. At this show\, Ilan and Gavin will bring the chemistry they’ve been building their entire lives to a hilarious improv performance that creates an entire show on the spot out of a single word suggestion. Don’t believe it’s possible? Come see to find out! \nInterested in what the show is like? Watch the video below by the team at the Ithacan Online. \nOpening for the Kaplan Cousins are members of Ithaca’s own Third Place Theater\, a local improv comedy theater that hosts shows\, jams\, and other events almost every week. Stay in touch with the Hangar to learn about opportunities for you to learn and perform improv in Ithaca! \n  \nA Conversation with Ilan and Gavin\nCan you introduce yourself?\nIlan: Hi! I’m Ilan Kaplan. I’m an improviser\, actor\, and teacher based right here in Ithaca. You may have seen me in Undressed: The Musical at the Kitchen Theatre Company or teaching classes right here at the Hangar. You’ll also see me for a few minutes on screen next to Willem Dafoe in The Birthday Party\, which releases in April!\nGavin: I’m Gavin Kaplan! I’m an improviser based in Brooklyn who performs every Thursday as part of my musical improv team\, Grinch Debussy\, at the Magnet Theater. I also produce and host Improv Imposter\, the improv game show for sneaky little freaks! If you’re ever in NYC\, come to a show and say hi! \nWhat is your favorite thing about improv? About performing together?\nGavin: My favorite thing about improv is the absolute trust and connection needed to do a great show! You’re building an airplane in mid-air\, but when you can take it slow and believe in your teammates\, it really feels like magic. Ilan is my favorite person to improvise with. He’s so smart and funny and I love him! Sorry if that’s cringe or whatever. Sorry if that’s unc. We’ve been doing this together for forever\, so we can basically read each other’s minds at this point but we still manage to surprise each other all the time. It’s just so fun.\nIlan: Anybody I teach improv to already knows my favorite thing about improv is the love. When I improvise\, I’m always looking for new ways to love what my scene partner is doing\, as myself or as my character. The best thing about performing with Gavin is I already love him! We’re pretty in sync already as regular people. We know each other’s references\, we can tell what the other person is going for in regular conversation. Having the chance to move that chemistry onstage is pretty special.\n \nWhat should audiences expect from the show?\nGavin: Oh I have no idea. Maybe we’ll be sci-fi space guys? Or bugs or something? The only thing I know for sure is you’re going to have a blast and so will we.\nIlan: Expect to laugh. If you’ve seen improv before\, you haven’t seen it like this. We’ll take a single suggestion from the audience and turn it into an hour-long show. There might be new worlds\, lots of characters\, romance\, drama. Or the whole story might be two guys just waiting for the bus. Either way\, I guarantee you will laugh. Laugh at us\, laugh with us\, it doesn’t matter! \nWill you be offering more improv classes in Ithaca?\nIlan: As long as the Hangar partners with me on these classes\, I’ll keep offering them! We have an amazing crop of students right now in our 101 and 201 classes\, with class shows of their own coming soon. If you are interested in classes\, reach out to the Hangar or to me at ilanjkaplan@gmail.com \n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Close to You
DESCRIPTION:Hangar Theatre’s In Flight Entertainment series presents \nLisa Rock in \nClose to You: The Music of the Carpenters\nSaturday\, March 7 @ 7:30 pm\nTickets: $35 \nConsidered one of the best vocalists of all time\, Karen Carpenter captured the attention of a generation with her unabashedly catchy pop music. The Carpenters’ beautiful\, memorable love songs topped the Billboard charts with more than a dozen number one hits. Now singer Lisa Rock and her 6-piece band are bringing the music of The Carpenters back to the stage with their spot-on renditions of Carpenters classics with Close to You: The Music of The Carpenters. \nLisa Rock\, a singer as well as a playwright\, has been performing to sold-out crowds for years. She’s written more than 30 original concerts and cabarets that have been seen across the country. Now\, Rock has arranged a 6-piece band\, complete with back-up singers\, and together they are dedicated to creating a Carpenters experience like no other. Rock’s amazing four octave range allows her to sing the hits like “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” in their original key\, keeping the songs genuine and more recognizable for the audience. “When she hits the lower range of her marvelous voice\,” notes critic Alan Bresloff\, “if you close your eyes\, you can see Karen Carpenter’s face.” \nBut Rock goes beyond the music in her concert. She draws the crowd in with anecdotes about Karen Carpenter\, her life and how some of the songs originated. Rock engages the audience to the point where they can’t help but sing along with her and share the memories of The Carpenters and their music. \n“An amazing night of music\,” Jim Jarvis\, Metropolis Executive Director said. “The sold-out crowd was singing along to nearly every song and gave Lisa and the band an immediate standing ovation. I must have had at least 40 patrons thank me for booking this show and asking when Lisa would be back. This is truly a rare gem of a show.”
