These are some of the questions asked by FROM WHITE PLAINS, playing at the Kitchen Theatre Company from October 16 to November 10, 2013.

Hangar Theatre Bounces Back After Recent Flooding; BACK TO THE GARDEN to Continue 9/20-21
by BWW News Desk - September 03, 2013
After a flash flood swept through the City of Ithaca on the evening of August 8th, damaging numerous sites around the city and flowing into the recently remodeled Hangar Theatre, rigorous efforts were make to keep the theatre open and functioning for audiences. The Hangar staff, board, and other supporters worked tirelessly to curtail the waters that entered the building, causing the cancellation of opening night of Clybourne Park on August 9th. Ultimately, the redesign of the building in 2010 and the extraordinary teamwork that took place allowed the theatre to close for only one night, reopening the following day for the matinee and evening performances. Hangar Theatre reseated opening night ticket holders and finished the remainder of the season. The upcoming CabarETC performances of Back to the Garden on September 20 - 21 at 8pm will go on as planned.
