Kitchen Theatre Company

In 2010, Kitchen Theatre Company (KTC) moved to 417 W. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street, making history by becoming the first theater company in Ithaca to own its own location. The completion of the building represented the culmination of a dream of Kitchen Theatre Company staff and board. The Campaign for a Bold, New Space, led by co-chairs Percy Browning, KTC Past Board President, and Greg Hartz, CEO Tompkins Trust Company, along with KTC Artistic Director, Rachel Lampert and Managing Director, Stephen Nunley, successfully raised $1.2M to construct a LEED-certified green building that includes a 99-seat thrust stage space, dressing rooms, green room, scene shop, inner lobby, outer lobby/art gallery, hospitality bar, box office, and a striking glass entranceway called "the beacon" that welcomes all to the Kitchen's new home.
