But as Ithaca’s year -round residents often observe, most students don’t see Cornell’s hometown in its glory: the summer, when we locals reap our karmic debt for all those frigid winter days. It’s the perfect time for alumni to return — and to use Ithaca as the base for a vacation. In that spirit, we offer a different list: 161 things to do—in Ithaca or within about an hour’s drive—if you come back this summer (with a few events in fall). Like Cornell itself, it has something for everyone. #18 48 CORNELL ALUMNI MAGAZINE MJ19_161_things_final.indd 48 4/8/19 3:06 PM On the Hil Outdoor 10. Take a 19.

II. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The TCG program funds up to 1/3 of new construction, expansion, and renovation projects, and up to 100% of related feasibility studies, for tourism capital projects valued at about $75,000 or higher. Eligible applicants are large, tourist/visitor generating, not-for-profit or public-purpose projects. Projects include new facilities such as the Museum of the Earth, renovations such as the State Theatre, and projects that improve exhibits and visitor amenities such as the Sciencenter’s ocean touch tank and the Waterfront Trail interpretive panels. III. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES Challenges: (1) In the past, to accommodate requests, TCG resorted to providing multi-year grants as a norm. By 2012 funds available in year one of the grant cycle had dropped to $54,000. Since then The TCG Review Committee has reversed this trend and rebuild the funding structure so that in 2017, $177,000 were available for awards in the application year.

    By Molly Smith Metzler Directed by M. Bevin O’Gara A production of the Kitchen Theatre, Ithaca MARCH 4 – 22, 2020 The Fielding Studio Series is supported in part by Associate Producer: Media Sponsor: 1 2 ABOUT GEVA THEATRE CENTER Geva Theatre Center is your not-for-profit theatre company dedicated to creating and producing professional theatre productions, programs and services of a national standard. As Rochester’s flagship professional theatre, Geva is the most attended regional theatre in New York State, and one of the 25 most subscribed in the country, serving up to 160,000 patrons annually, including 20,000 students. Founded in 1972 by William Selden and Cynthia Mason Selden, Geva was originally housed in the Rochester Business Institute building on South Clinton Avenue. In 1982, Geva purchased and converted its current space – formerly a NYS Arsenal designed by noted Rochester architect Andrew J Warner and built in 1868 – and opened its new home at the Richard Pine Theatre in March 1985. Geva operates two venues – the 516-seat Elaine P. Wilson Stage and the 180-seat Ron & Donna Fielding Stage. As one of the country’s leading theatre companies and a member of the national League of Resident Theatres, Geva produces a varied contemporary repertoire from musicals to world premieres celebrating the rich tapestry of our diverse community. We draw upon the talents of some of the country’s top actors, directors, designers and writers who are shaping the American Theatre scene. Geva’s education programs serve 20,000 students annually through student matinees, in-school workshops, theatre tours, career day, the acclaimed Summer Academy training program, and opportunities such as the Stage Door Project, which pairs a local school with a production in the Geva season giving students an exclusive look into the entire process of producing a show.
