‘Hurlyburly' at KNOW Theatre
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A show that explores the drug-fueled chaos of 1980s Hollywood culture is coming to KNOW Theatre this weekend. Hurlyburly by David Rabe is opening at KNOW Theatre on Friday. Drawing its name from Shakespeare's tumultuous tragedy Macbeth, Hurlyburly follows a group of lesser-known celebrities as they attempt to find meaning in their dishonest, futile lives. The show focuses on themes of self-destruction, toxic masculinity, substance use, and the search for meaning in the mundane. Vito Longo portrays Eddie, an insecure, morally corrupt Hollywood casting director. Longo says going to see good theatre is like going to the gym for your empathy. 'It's going to be hard for audiences to sympathize with these guys because their behavior is so destructive, but ultimately I hope audiences leave with a perspective of a deeper understanding for people that may be abrasive in their everyday lives,' said Longo. Hurlyburly opens Friday and will run for three weeks, ending on June 29. Show times are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $28 for general admission, $23 for seniors, and $15 for students. There will also be a pay-what-you-can performance on Thursday, June 19.

KNOW Theatre presenting Stephen King's ‘Misery'
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A famous story of obsession, survival, and psychological terror is coming to KNOW Theatre. William Goldman's 'Misery' is opening on Friday. Based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, Misery follows romance writer Paul Sheldon who is rescued from a car crash by his 'number one fan', Annie Wilkins. Annie holds Paul hostage, forcing him to write a novel avenging her favorite character who he had killed off. With themes of torture and manipulation that will have you on the edge of your seat, Paul is forced to fight for his life and write the greatest novel of his career. Director Jeff Tagliaferro says KNOW Theatre is known for presenting dark storylines that make us look within ourselves. He says this play does exactly that. 'For me personally, that's the kind of art I seek out, that kind of unveils the darker side of us that we all have. It helps us overcome it by facing it, being challenged by it. And I think Misery does that,' said Tagliaferro. Tagliaferro says the cast has worked very hard to bring a new perspective to their characters, making the show a must see even if you already know the story. Misery opens on Friday and will run for three weekends. Showtimes are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 3 on Sunday. Tickets start at $15. There will also be a pay-what-you-can performance on Thursday, February 13.
