ABOUT HANGAR THEATRE

The Hangar Theatre creates and presents performances of exceptional quality in New York State’s Finger Lakes region while teaching and mentoring the next generation of theater artists. We enrich our community, at both the local and national level, with work and classes that inspire, entertain, and enlighten. The Hangar produced its first fully realized performances in summer 1975 in a newly renovated theater space converted from a WPAera airplane hangar--once an essential training ground for WWII pilots—on the banks of beautiful Cayuga Lake. The project was community driven from the start, led by Ithaca-area theaterlovers aspiring to create a vibrant central arts campus for the region and tourists alike. Now a year-round venue engaged in its 47th season, the Hangar Theatre Company offers professional theatrical productions during an expansive and diverse summer season (June-August) and hosts local and national musical acts, community arts groups and events, and education programs offseason (September-May).
