Preview                  performances to run January 15-19, with Opening Week                  performances staring January 20th.
                  
Harold Pinter's Betrayal is                  the story of a love triangle between married couple - Emma                  and Robert - and their long-time friend Jerry. Emma and                  Jerry’s seven year affair is told in reverse -                  unfolding from its bitter end to Robert’s discovery, to                  the illicit first kiss.
                  
When asked why Capital Rep selected Betrayal as the first                  production of the New Year, Producing Artistic                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
                  Director Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill said “Betrayal is a sexy show                  that people will identify with. Not only is it a story about                  infidelity in marriage; it’s the story about how we                  betray ourselves, our dreams, our friends and our lovers. The                  fact that the story is staged around a series of rumpled beds                  makes it an adult tale. That it is told backward through time                  allows us to ask, “If I knew then what I know now,                  would I have done anything differently?” 
                  
Directing the show is Capital Rep stalwart                  Terence Lamude. Lamude has directed 8 plays for Capital Rep,                  including smash-hit Doubt in                  2008, the exceedingly popular Boston Marriage in May of 2009 and most                  recently the devilish tale, The                  Seafarer, in the fall of 2009. Mancinelli-Cahill                  and Lamude have assembled a stellar cast with credits from                  London, Ireland, Chicago and New York.

Describing this season’s selections,                  Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill said “I really tried to select                  plays that encourage imaginative staging– from the live                  music and projections in 33 Variations                  to the highly theatrical puppet and lighting techniques                  needed for Shipwrecked: An                  Entertainment to the fabulous hats that chronicle                  150 years of history of the Baptist women in Crowns. These works help                  commemorate all that is the essence of live professional                  theatre for our 30th year.”(Photo credit: John Amos and Isaiah Washington in                  Fences.

Capital Rep, along with the Albany                  Institute of History and Art and the Albany Symphony                  Orchestra, have joined forces to distribute a study that                  will measure the impact of our three organizations                  on the local economy. The                                                         
results of the study will be used in future                  fundraising efforts to illustrate to state and local                  officials the contribution that our institutions make to the                  economy, in addition to the value that we add to arts &                  cultural offerings in the Capital District.

During My Fair Lady we                  distributed an informal survey to our Saturday evening                  attendees to gauge the interest of a                                                        
 new Saturday evening showtime. Currently the                  performance time is 7:30pm. We've tabulated the results and                  we're happy to announce that the 7:30pm time slot won with                  65% or 220 votes. The 8:00pm time slot came in at 117 votes                  or 35%.
