"Five Women Wearing the Same Dress," Alan Ball’s comedy of manners, comes to Cortland Repertory Theatre Downtown this spring, presented by the SUNY Cortland Performing Arts Department. Directed by Adara Alston, the play gathers five bridesmaids in a bedroom upstairs from a wedding reception they would rather skip. As the party rages on below, the women trade secrets, grievances and unexpected friendship, each dressed in the same unflattering bridesmaid gown. Ball’s script, from the writer of "American Beauty" and "Six Feet Under," balances sharp comedy with genuine warmth. Performances take place at Cortland Repertory Theatre Downtown, Feb. 25-28.

"Carrie: The Musical," based on Stephen King’s classic novel, arrives at the SUNY Cortland Performing Arts Department this fall. Directed by Deena Conley and music direction by Ben Kapilow, the production follows Carrie White, a bullied high school student whose telekinetic powers erupt in devastating fashion on the night of her senior prom. The musical blends a rock-infused score with a story of isolation, cruelty and the search for belonging. Performances take place in the Dowd Fine Arts Center’s Lab Theatre, an intimate space that puts audiences close to the action. The production runs Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 5-7, with matinees Nov. 1 and 8.
