A brand new "headphone walking play" in Stewart Park -- based on Ithaca's Silent Film history as the "Hollywood Of The East!" Produced in collaboration with Wharton Studio Museum and co-written by Ithaca College Assistant Professor of Writing, Katie Marks. The Missing Chapter introduces audiences to Wharton Studio heroine Beatrice Fairfax, advice columnist for the lovelorn... and amateur sleuth. As Beatrice solves crime in the heady days of the women’s suffrage movement, audiences stroll Stewart Park to investigate “missing chapters” in the history of our own community, and discover a fascinating piece of Ithaca’s geography and heritage that’s been hiding in plain sight. Audience members who participated in Storm Country, The Cherry’s original headphone walking play, will recall the thrill of traversing Ithaca on foot while being immersed in the world of an audio adventure. In The Missing Chapter, text, dialogue, music, and sound effects interweave to create an immersive theatrical experience unlike anything else. Click here to reserve tickets in advance. The Missing Chapter runs this Fridays through Sundays through September 9, with walks beginning at the Stewart Park Picnic Pavilion every 15 minutes (from 4-7pm on Friday, and from 2-6pm on Saturday & Sunday). The approximately one-mile walk takes about an hour, punctuated with many stops to rest along the way. This is a wheelchair-accessible experience.
